The Glasgow Exhibition of 1888 was a triumph for a city proud of its art, science and industrial heritage. Its aim was to draw international attention to its achievements and succeeded in raising £43,000 for the local area. Among the main attractions were the impressive steam-powered ships exhibited by Messrs Barclay, Curie and Co. At the time, such vessels were one of the greatest examples of how far British engineering had come during the industry revolution. In its 1888 report of the exhibition, 7The Engineer highlighted the Roslin Castle, built around five years earlier for Donald Curie and Co. It was a grand ship, 380ft in length and capable of achieving a speed of 14 % knots. It was powered by compound direct-action surface-condensing engines having cylinders of 50 inches and 90 inches in diameter, and a 60-inch stroke.
