The world’s last sea-going paddle steamer has had to scrap sailing today due to boiler issues.
The iconic Waverley was scheduled to pick up passengers from Ayr this afternoon, after taking off from Glasgow this morning, but was “unable to operate due to an electrical fault in one of the boiler control systems.”
Excited passengers were due to head for Girvan aboard the ‘national treasure’, taking in the stunning Firth of Clyde as Ayrshire bathes in toasty temperatures of 26 degrees.
