News from Loch Katrine
May 2019
This year marks a special anniversary for Loch Katrine, ahead of a momentous year for the Sir Walter Scott Steamship in 2020. The popular visitor attraction in the Trossachs is also hosting a number of family events.
Managing Director Gordon Allan explained: "At nearly 120 years old it is vital that we carefully maintain and preserve the steamship. This is a special year for Loch Katrine, as October will mark the 160th anniversary of Queen Victoria to officially open the water works. A celebration of this royal visit is part of a schedule of events during 2019".
The series of events began with an Easter Egg hunt, featuring the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter over the Easter weekend.
In June there is a Wizards and Witches Weekend (22nd & 23rd), with a Pirates Ahoy! weekend in July (20th & 21st).
All of the events will include actors to bring stories of Loch Katrine and the subject of the themed events to life.
As Gordon explained these themed weekends have attracted many new visitors to Loch Katrine.
"Children love these family events; they enter the spirit of the theme by dressing up, often even persuading their parents to dress up too! These events are very successful and have helped introduce families to Loch Katrine for the first time."
The 160th anniversary of Queen Victoria's visit will be commemorated on October 14th. The royal visit was the official opening of the Glasgow water works, using the water of Loch Katrine.
