The Maid of the Loch THE charity which runs the Maid of the Loch is celebrating after being thrown a financial lifeline by the Wolfson Foundation. The organisation has made a £35,000 donation to the paddle steamer’s owners, the Loch Lomond Steamship Company, to help it through the Covid-19 restrictions. The Maid is currently closed for the winter, but the charity’s chairman, John Beveridge, says the foundation’s support will help it bridge the gap left by a significant fall in revenue due to the pandemic. Mr Beveridge said: “This is wonderful news, and we are most grateful to the Wolfson Foundation for their support at this time.
