In the late 1980s, the Summerlee Transport Group (STG) was formed, in order to support the maintenance and operation of the tramway. The original tramway used to terminate only 300 yards from the entrance at the timber shed, before the extension of the Gartsherrie Branch canal bridge and thence towards the Miners' Cottages. Quoted from Wikipedia.

The Vulcan, launched in 1819, was the first all iron-hulled vessel (boat) to be built. It was designed as a horse-drawn passenger barge for use on the Scottish canals. Quoted from Wikipedia.

Summerlee, Coatbridge

Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life is an industrial and social history museum in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland.

The machine at Summerlee Museum is a boiled‑sweet mixing and forming machine used in the production of Oddfellows, one of the best‑known traditional Scottish sweets. King’s of Wishaw specialised in boiled sweets, and Oddfellows were among their most famous products. The factory could produce around 3,000 Oddfellows per minute, showing the industrial scale of what was still a local, family‑rooted business.

Helensburgh Outdoor Museum

Colquhoun Square, Helensburgh

The yacht featured on the plinth in Helensburgh’s Outdoor Museum is a 'Gareloch One Design', a class of elegant 24-foot wooden racing yachts that have graced the waters of the Gare Loch since 1924.

Designer: Ewing McGruer, of the renowned McGruer boatbuilding family in Clynder.

Year Built: 1924.

Fleet Size: Just 16 were ever built—and remarkably, all 16 still survive and race today.

Purpose: Designed for competitive sailing, these yachts were known for their graceful lines and spirited performance.

Location: Colquhoun Square, Helensburgh.

Feature: A bronze half-model of the yacht hull mounted on a plinth, with carved inscriptions detailing the class’s history.

Unveiled: During the town’s Winter Festival, as part of a broader celebration of Helensburgh’s cultural and nautical legacy.

Creators: The model was commissioned by the Gareloch One Design Association, with contributions from local figures including Tim Henderson, nephew of John Henderson—the man credited with reviving the fleet in the 1950s.

The Gareloch One Designs are more than boats—they’re living links to a bygone era of yacht racing. Their continued presence on the loch is a testament to community dedication and craftsmanship.

They’ve outlasted many other classes, including Olympic and international designs, and remain a colourful fixture of summer sailing in the area.
