Rothesay Bay
A short-lived experiment in the mid-sixties was the introduction (in 1965) of a hovercraft on the Clyde by a company called Clyde Hover Ferries Ltd, aimed at competing with the traditional steamer and ferry services. The venture wasn't a great success and the service ceased at the end of the 1966 summer season. The photograph shows the hovercraft setting off from the beach at Rothesay for the mainland.
