On July 8th 2012, Waverley sailed on charter to
the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society to Loch Riddon, a small
sea loch rarely visited by the paddler although she regularly passes
the entrance to the Loch as she sails round the Kyles of Bute. In
a joint offereng with the Clyde River Steamer Club, Clyde Marine
Services' motor ship "The Second Snark" was also chartered
to act as tender and to land passengers at the rarely-used pier
at the hamlet of Ormidale (see photo above) and return those wishing
to sail on her back to Greenock. Photos by kind courtesy of Kenny
