London Midland & Scottish / London & North Eastern Railway poster.The Clyde - it's quicker by rail, by Norman Wilkinson. Steamer passing lighthouse, yachts in the distance. Text: Only a few miles from Glasgow lies the Bonnie Firth of Clyde, on whose blue waters the Railway Companies operate up-to-date pleasure steamers for fascinating excursions. Here, amid cloud-topped mountains, the vessel traverses lovely lochs to whose sparkling beauty the noble hills form a fitting background. From the Clyde Coast piers, Loch Long, Loch Goil, Holy Loch, Rothesay or the Kyles of Bute may be visited, and days of unforgettable pleasure spent in the luxury of a miniature liner.
