We took a trip through to Dumbarton in November 2024 and stopped off at the Loch Lomond Shores shopping complex.

By the entrance was this model of The Maid of the Loch, the last paddle steamer on Loch Lomond which I hvave featured here and here:-

The Moon over the Rock (somewhat outdone by the floodlights):-

The Maid of the Loch was built at P&J Inglis yard in Glasgow then dismantled and shipped by rail to the slipway at Balloch where it was reassembled:-

These are some old photos of the Maid on board:-

There are also some models of older Loch Lomond steamers; The Marion, The Princess of Wales, Eurosyne,  the Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, The Queen, Empress:-

Princess May, Prince Edward, The Maid of the Loch:-
