Spirit of the Tay Steamer
The once bold plan to reintroduce a steamer service between Killin and Kenmore has been grinding through courts for ten years now.
But if you are driving between Lawers and Kenmmore along the North shore of Loch Tay, stop and take a forlorn look at the hull of the Spirit of the Tay which looks lovely, but sadly uncared for beside the loch. It looks like she will never be launched now!
