On this day in history. The paddle steamer Maid of the Loch was launched on Loch Lomond 70 years ago today, on 5 March 1953, and regularly sailed on the loch until 1981. It is hoped to return her to service. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lom

Good morning. Pre-Covid, my husband and I used to take part in the Great Scottish Swim each year. Obviously everything was cancelled for a couple of years and we’ve never re-entered. Loch Lomond is a fabulous place to swim. Here, in sunshine, with The Maid of The Loch sitting proud. We’ve been on our own wee swim adventure in the last couple of years instead and I’m writing about it.
