“Steamer on Loch Etive. On Saturday the new steamer Glen Etive, with a specially-invited party and the owners board, sailed up Loch Etive the head of the Loch. That route, which is to opened to the public to-day, is one of the most interesting in Scotland, the scenery being grand, and the historical associations connected with it unequalled by any part of Scotland.
