Now, a stunning video has been taken of the Waverley passing below the famous Tower Bridge landmark. The boat blasts its steam whistle as it passes under the bridge at nighttime in a dramatic spectacle.

Twitter page Past Glasgow shared the incredible moment, saying: "One icon engineered in Glasgow passes under another icon engineered in Glasgow. PS Waverley, with her paddle boxes chattering, gives a blast on the steam whistle as the twin decks of Tower Bridge rise to salute her."

They added: "The iconic stonework of Tower Bridge hides an impressive steel skeleton forming the main structure, which was constructed by the Glasgow civil engineering company Sir William Arrol & Co. They built some of the UK's most famous bridges, including the Forth Bridge & Tay Rail Bridge."
