River Clyde in Variable Weather


 A few images in between some sunny weather and some showers.

The 'Island Princess' seems to be having a rather torrid time. She was supplied for the Gourock Kilcreggan ferry service when we were expecting a new build ferry.

She was taken out of service following an inspection by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and is seen here conducting trials.
