Here we see the Paddle Steamer Waverley arriving at Rothesay, Isle of Bute on the 28th June 2003 in pristine condition. Recently back in service from the second phase of her £7 million re-build. This was when announcements were still made at Rothesay pier, whether it is for the Calmac car ferry or the Waverley/Balmoral.
It is interesting to see how quickly a Paddle Steamer can be stopped in this footage.
She is seen coming alongside berth No3, a manoeuvre which will no longer happen due to the re-construction of Rothesay pier prior to the arrival of the new ferries MV Argyle and MV Bute.
