P.S. "Waverley" off Kyleakin-a

Viewed from the railway pier in Kyle, P.S."Waverley" steams parallel with Kyleside in Kyleakin with the 09:00 Broadford - Kyle - Raasay sailing. Now usually known as the "last sea-going paddle steamer in the world", this lovely vessel entered service with the LNER in 1947, commonly working between the railway piers at Craigendoran and Arrochar. Her busy summer seasons now include visits to such far-flung ports as Bristol and London. Contrary to popular belief, this Waverley did NOT go to the Dunkirk evacuation, although she did visit the French coast in more recent times.
