Winter arrives in The Trossachs...

...and with those first frosts signalling that the colder months are here, it’s time for the winter maintenance programme at Loch Katrine to commence, taking advantage of the quieter period to undertake essential engineering work on both the ‘Sir Walter Scott’ and ‘Lady of the Lake’, in preparation for their return to service at the beginning of April.

Everyone at Loch Katrine looks forward to welcoming visitors again during the Easter holiday period, the start of an important season when the 200th anniversary of the publication of Sir Walter Scott’s famous poem ‘Lady of the Lake’ will be marked with a series of special events in The Trossachs.

You can help...

Maintaining and refurbishing the world-famous steamship Sir Walter Scott so that generations of visitors can continue to enjoy the special experience of sailing on Loch Katrine under steam power is a task which brings many challenges - especially in generating the funding required to protect a ship which is approaching its 110th birthday.

The Steamship Sir Walter Scott Trust has been established in order to support the ship - and to raise the funds which are so important to secure its future. If you share the vision and the commitment of the Trustees who are committed to preserving this unique part of Scotland’s maritime heritage, and you want to help keep the Sir Walter Scott in operation, then you can apply for membership of Friends of The Sir Walter Scott.

This unique scheme offers you the chance to receive some exclusive benefits, as well as a means of supporting an important and worthwhile cause. If you would like to receive details of how you can become a member of Friends of The Sir Walter Scott, simply click here for further information.
