Boats

The society fleet

We currently have two passenger vessels which are moored opposite the Stables Restaurant, Kirkintilloch and one vessel, "Maryhill", which is moored in Southbank Marina, Kirkintilloch. By chartering one of our vessels you will not only have a great experience but you will be assisting us in preserving the Lowland Canals and other projects.

Our first big boat was an old Clyde passenger ferry which we restored and renamed "Ferry Queen". She was our flagship for many years. We saved her from the scrapyard and she repaid us by saving the canal. Her great service to us has been completed and she has now returned to the river Clyde for restoration and is berthed beside the Riverside Museum.
