Up River to Glasgow

Home » Blog » Up River to Glasgow

Each weekend of the main summer season Waverley sails from Glasgow down river to the Firth and returns in the evening. Her typical Saturday sailing destination is to the Kyles of Bute and Tighnabruaich but Sunday sailings have no regular destination instead they offer a wide variety of cruises, calling points and destinations.

Cameron Shaw captured her sailing up river to Glasgow over the weekend of 15th/16th July and shared the following images with PSPS. Her Sunday destination on this particular weekend was Campbeltown.
