Five of my paddle steamer models to identify.
No cash prizes or green shield stamps (oops showing my age!)

Five out of Five to you, Alistair. 
Missing are my first JUPITER (G&SW), CALEDONIA and MAID OF THE LOCH.
Have you ever considered writing about the Royal Run as St COLUMBA was one of my favourites.
Ian McCrorie's book is good but I'd like a bit more!     Sandy

Have you not got my book MacBrayne Steamers, published by Tempus in 2001 and still in print. When I was at Iona on Waverley in the beginning of May, there wee a pile in the Abbey bookshop.

I have another book on MacBrayne in the pipeline, based on a collection of old glass slides which was given to Iain Quinn

I've got most of your books, but I must have missed that one on MacBraynes. I'll try Tempus direct.
I always enjoyed the sail to Ardrishaig, you felt you were in a different world when you heard the lilt and the Gaelic, I liked the red funnel fleet, but the "Hamilton" was always my favourite.
Look forward to your new publication.
Three red funnels at Tynemouth!
