   This is the first time that I have seen her since about 1970 when we emigrated to Sydney. Australia and I was aghast at seeing that horrendous yellow colour on her funnels.   The buff colour she had in the Caledonian Steam Packet days suited her much better, as did the wider single funnel.

   Surely the restorers could have had a buff paint mixed at one of the Glasgow Hardware Stores.
