Lucy Ashton was built by T.B. Seath & Co. at their Rutherglen shipyard for the North British Steam Packet Co. to serve on the Craigendoran to Kilmun route. She continued the tradition of naming steamers after characters in Sir Walter Scott’s novels, being named after the main character in the novel The Bride of Lammermoor.[ Over the years she sailed on a number of different routes visiting piers in Greenock, Garelochhead, Clynder, Gourock and Dunoon.
