Built by The Ardmaleish Boatbuilding Company in their yard at Port Bannatyne on the beautiful Island of Bute in Scotland's Firth of Clyde, near the famous holiday resort of Rothesay. The puffer was launched on 31st July 2004 named "Mary Hill".

Maryhill is a detailed replica of a Clyde coal puffer and was commissioned by Sir Robert Smith to be used as a pleasure craft for hire on the Forth & Clyde canal. The photographs shown in the gallery are of the 42ft vessel arriving at Bowling and coming through the sea lock into the basin for the start of her journey navigating through the Forth and Clyde canal towards the Falkirk Wheel, in time to be on display at the Scottish Boat Show being held this year between 13-15 August 2004.
