More about this scene

Loch Lomond became a popular destination for day trippers from around Clydeside, especially after the opening of the Dumbarton & Balloch Joint Railway. The loch itself was served by the steamers of the Loch Lomond Steam Boat Company, whose first ship, the 'Prince of Wales', was built at Port Glasgow in 1858. Tarbet lies at the eastern end of a narrow neck of land that extends from Arrochar on Loch Long.
