Posters of buttermaking and Campbeltown cruise

Whilst browsing a poster site, I come across these of buttermaking in 1950 and an Inverary to Campbeltown 'cruise' from 1914 and thought they might interest somebody on here.

The butter making refers to a British Transport fim called Speedup, but i cant find any further reference on the net.

Interesting stuff. Anybody know any of the creamery workers?

I think the information about the poster is wrong. The excursions would be from Glasgow (or, to judge by the map, Greenock's Princes Pier) to either Inveraray OR Campbeltown. I don't know of any regular scheduled sailings between Inveraray and Campbeltown in the period in question.

Further update on the last post. In Alan J S Paterson's book "The Golden Years of the Clyde Steamers 1890 - 1914" (David & Charles, 1969) p. 166, the following is found:-

"The Queen Alexandra's opening cruise was on 31 May (1902) from Prince's Pier and Gourock, thence between the Cumbraes and up Loch Fyne. She took over the Greenock, Fairlie and Campbeltown service on the following Monday, 2 June, and the King Edward, thus relieved, was placed on a new route from Prince's Pier and Fairlie to Tarbert and Ardrishaig, subsequently extended to Inveraray, in direct competition with MacBrayne's Columba and Iona and the Inveraray Company's Lord of the Isles."
