AN ENGINEER'S DAY OUT - Loch Katrine - Steamship Sir Walter Scott

摘要

Lovely scenery, near silent steam power, Edwardian elegance, lapping water, associations with Scotland's greatest novelist, promise of eco-friendly power. What better for a day out? Thank Sir Walter Scott, easily the most popular writer of the early 19th century. If he hadn't written poems like Lady of the Lake and the novel Rob Roy visitors wouldn't have flocked to the Trossachs and Loch Katrine. Tourists could see places mentioned in the books and businesses sprang up to serve their needs.
