Waverley Paddle Steamer Round the Isle of Arran Special

Waverley Paddle Steamer Round Isle of Arran Special 🙂
It's been a decade since the Waverley paddle steamer went all the way round Arran so it was too good an opportunity to miss.
I have lived on Arran for almost 4 decades, worked for Caledonian MacBrayne for 17 years and yet the last time I was on this paddle steamer was almost half a century ago, in 1975! That was the year that, having just been sold by Caledonian MacBrayne for £1, it started it's current role.
The reason I went on the paddle steamer that day in 1975 was because I was living as a schoolboy in Glasgow...because the city was celebrating being 800 years old we all got sent on a schooltrip aboard the Waverley from Glasgow to Millport (Isle of Cumbrae) and back.
So this year I booked the trip for Sunday 13th August 2023 and hoped for good weather on the day.
It turned out sunny and still, perfect really.
The trip was a sell-out and it was a memorable occasion.
It was amazing to see Arran from a different perspective.
What a day! 🙂
