Comments:
Another fast (19.26 knots), elegant steamer she was heavy on fuel and like her sister Glen Sannox, this was to shorten her service career. It was rumoured that she was built for service on the South Coast of England, but she nevertheless took her place in the fleet in July 1898. Whilst she was a large and robust steamer fitted for service in all weathers, she operated principally as a summer boat, due mainly to her heavy coal consumption. She served as a troop carrier and minesweeper in the Great War and survived unscathed, returning to Clyde service in June 1919. In 1923 she came under LMS Railway control and her new owners became increasingly concerned about her fuel consumption. She was withdrawn from service in 1931 and was broken up at Alloa in March the following year.
