The Steamship Sir Walter Scot needs your help to allow her to continue to ply Loch Katrine for the pleasure of the many visitors from home and overseas and to give these visitors the opportunity to experience the silent progress of steam power as she quietly glides her way along the loch in some of the most beautiful surroundings in the country.

Please help the Trust to pay for the refit and the continuing upkeep of the ship by becoming a Friend of The Steamship Sir Walter Scott. Not only will you be helping to keep this unique piece of History alive, but you will receive additional benefits as detailed below.
