Classic Steamship Sir Walter Scott Cruises
Trips on the Steamship Sir Walter Scott glide through some of the country’s most iconic Highland landscapes, with views of rugged hills, wooded shores, and ever-changing light across the loch. The cruises typically depart from Trossachs Pier and Stronachlachar and vary in length, from shorter one-hour sailings to longer return journeys that explore deeper into the loch.
On board, visitors can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, informative commentary about the area’s history and wildlife, and a small licenses café serving refreshments. The ship is named after Sir Walter Scott, whose famous poem The Lady of the Lake helped popularise the region in the 19th century.
A trip on the SS Sir Walter Scott is less about speed and more about soaking in the peaceful beauty of the Scottish countryside—making it a popular choice for day-trippers, walkers, and anyone looking to step back in time while exploring one of Scotland’s most picturesque lochs.
Steamship Sir Walter Scott has sailed on Loch Katrine since 1900. Step on board the historic Steamer and connect with nature as you sail across one of Scotland’s most beautiful and historic lochs, gliding gently into the Highlands.
There are three daily sailings from Trossachs Pier:
• 10.30am and 2.30pm departures to Stronachlachar Pier, arriving at 11.30am and 3.30pm
• A one-hour circular cruise departing daily at 1pm
Visitors can combine a single cruise with a return cycle or walk along the scenic 14-mile lochside road. Bikes can be taken on board, subject to booking and availability, and cycle hire is available at Trossachs Pier.
The steamship is also proudly fully accessible with staff on hand throughout to assist with any additional needs.
