The Waverley have thanked their customers for supporting their ongoing restoration works on board the famous paddesteamer.

Maintenance works are underway on board in readiness for the summer season as the below picture shows - and excitement is building for the historic steamer's return to local shores this summer after last year's successful run.

A Waverley spokesperson said: "Our volunteer crew are hard at work in the new workshop in the container at Waverley’s quayside.

"Gifts from our Amazon Wishlist have been really helpful in getting this workshop up and running, something we’re very grateful for.
