Maid to SaiL

A warm welcome to PS Maid of the Loch 

Loch Lomond Steamship Company, better known as Paddle Steamer Maid of the Loch, is a Scottish Charity run entirely by volunteers. We are determined to return our historic ship to sailing again on Loch Lomond. The ship was saved from sinking in 1995 and since then our community of volunteers has spent thousands of hours bringing her back to life. The ship is presently on the Slipway and undergoing major restoration works to her hull and paddles but we are keen to welcome visitors to the shipyard so they can see for themselves the amazing work underway.

This website tells our story so far and how you can help us continue that story. Make sure you sign up for our e- newsletter below and follow us on Facebook for our latest news.

BEST WAY TO SEE THE RESTORATION WORK UNDERWAY AT PRESENT IS TO BOOK A HARD HAT TOUR

Every Saturday and Sunday, at 11.30am and 2pm, our friendly knowledgeable guides will be happy to show you the ship. Tours last about an hour. Get an exclusive update onboard and on the slipway of the most recent work in our restoration programme. You need to be able to climb our access staircase to get onboard the ship. Wear comfortable shoes. Tours are not recommended for children under 5 and are not suitable for dogs. If you wish to book a tour for a child please do so as for an adult and we will refund £10 to you when you arrive.
