Support The Maid of the Loch
Help us restore the Maid
Restoring the Maid is a large capital project and depends on a large number of people, funding bodies and businesses offering their time, energy and financial support.
The Maid currently sits on the slipway. The entire hull has been scanned and a programme of work is underway that will replace much of the steelwork under the boiler room area. We are now rebuilding the paddles after complete refurbishment of all parts. We aim to recoat the hull and funnel in her original colours. The costs for all this will be substantial but greatly reduced by the use of our skilled volunteer labour force.
