 Loch Tay was intended solely for connections to steamers.In 1921 the Caledonian Railway acquired the Loch Tay Steamship Company which owned two steamers on the loch; the company was loss-making, and the Caledonian wished to continue the tourist trade over the Callander and Oban line; the Killin Railway obviously benefitted also.On 19 October 1922 the Marquis of Breadalbane died.
