HMS Queen Elizabeth, the largest and most powerful vessel ever constructed by the Royal Navy, sailed into Loch Long this morning (Monday).
The 280m-long aircraft carrier will spend time at the Glen Mallan jetty, which is currently undergoing a multi-million-pound upgrade.

The ship, part of which was built on the Clyde, entered service in 2017 and cost around Β£3 billion to construct.
Weighing 65,000 tonnes, it is capable of carrying up to 40 aircraft and is the flagship vessel in the Royal Navy's fleet.
