EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard the historic Carron Line Ferries' steamer, The Avon, as it navigates the tranquil waters of the Firth of Forth towards the vibrant city of Glasgow. Established in 1759, the Carron Line Ferries played a significant role in the transportation of people and goods between London and Glasgow for over two centuries. The majestic Forth Rail Bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, looms in the background, a testament to the industrial prowess of the era. The bridge, completed in 1890, revolutionized land transportation in Scotland, making the journey between the cities faster and more efficient. The Avon, a symbol of maritime history, boasts a proud and storied past. With four weekly sailings, this steamship carried passengers and cargo across the Firth of Forth, connecting two bustling cities. The year is 1903, and the world is on the cusp of a new era. The Carron Line Ferries, with their steadfast service, remain an essential link between the old and the new. The logo of the Carron Line Ferries, emblazoned on the side of the steamer, proudly displays the company's rich heritage. Though the Carron Line Ferries eventually folded after World War II, their legacy lives on, leaving us with a fascinating glimpse into Scotland's maritime past.
