Old Photograph Clyde Training Ship Empress Garelochhead Scotland

They were dressed in smart pseudo naval uniforms and spent all of their time aboard except for shore duties and leave. Originally in Dunbartonshire, Garelochhead village developed from the 1820s with the advent of steamer cruising during the Glasgow Fair holiday. Tourism was boosted with the opening of the West Highland Railway line to Fort William in 1894.
