Old Photograph Paddle Steamer Columba River Clyde Scotland
Old photograph of the paddle steamer Columba on the River Clyde by Glasgow, Scotland. Columba was built by J & G Thomson of Clydebank. All of Columba 's distinguished career was on the first leg of the The Royal Route from Glasgow to Ardrishaig, calling at Rothesay and the Kyles of Bute. The route, so named after Queen Victoria sailed from the Clyde in 1847, was used by the cream of Victorian and Edwardian society to reach estates in the Highlands. Columba visited Ardrishaig over 5600 times in her 58 year career. Other vessels took the continuation of the Royal Route through the Crinan Canal to Oban, Fort William and Inverness through the Caledonian Canal.
