Through developing an understanding of history of tourism on
Clyde, young people will work in teams to produce models of
steamers which were successfully marketed as a trip 'Doon the
Watter' and compare this approach by developing an
advertising/marketing campaign to promote seaplane flights on the
River Clyde to destinations such as Loch Lomond and Oban.
