Revellers toast the new year on board historic steamship

Cruises Hundreds of visitors and residents joined the celebrations on January 1 and 2

The Trust has been awarded a hat-trick of grants to improve visitor infrastructure further at Loch Katrine and got 2026 off to a great start with two days of popular steamship cruises and a local ceilidh band on board to welcome the New Year.

The triple grant awards totalling more than £200,000 for Changing Places toilet facilities, electric vehicle chargers and improved mobile phone connectivity crown a momentous year.

The historic steamship was named UK Flagship of the Year by National Historic Ships in April, and Loch Katrine's new Scenic Tower and Lookouts, highly commended at the prestigious RSPB's Nature of Scotland Awards in November.

Hundreds of visitors and residents joined the celebrations on January 1 and 2, enjoying special New Year Festive Cruises aboard the historic Steamship Sir Walter Scott.

Guests toasted the arrival of 2026 while taking in Loch Katrine's spectacular winter scenery, accompanied by live traditional music from the Ian Muir Band.
