The Maryhill, a working, scale replica of the classic Clyde Puffer, in the Kirky Marina. In the industrail era many of these ships, made famous in Neil Munro's book, and the 1970s TV adaptation (still much loved here), were built and launched near this spot

The Vital Spark (or at least one of them - there appears to be at least two) was, and may still be, laid up at the Crinan end of the Crinan Canal.

"More steam, MacPhail, you blaggard!"

Monument celebrating the wonderful Clyde Puffer, as seen in Para Handy, by the canal marina at Kirkintilloch. Many were built & launched from this spot, one upon a time.

For lovers of the #ParaHandy stories here is a belter from the same author Neil Munro. Written in 1922 he wryly speculates on traffic congestion 20 years hence in 1942. He doesn't like what he sees. Funny and presentient. #cycling #traffic #Glasgow #pedestrians #Scots
