The Waverley’s sailing from Helensburgh on Saturday - the last of the season - has been cancelled due to bad weather.

In a statement, Waverley Excursions said sailings this weekend would not operate “as weather conditions will not allow the ship to reposition from the Thames in time to do so”.

The company apologised for any disappointment and inconvenience and said passengers who had booked could use their tickets on any other sailing next year at no extra cost - even if it was a more expensive one.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for Helensburgh as Storm Callum prepares to batter the country with high winds and heavy rain.
