Sorry. I thought there was the remains of a puffer in the harbour at Bowling. I was fairly sure, wrongly it would seem, that the "Bay Inn" 's (or was that the "Ettrick" or the "Glen Lusset"; my memory is dreadful) 5-a-side football team had it as an emblem on their shirts. I think I have seen the "Wee Spark" when I've been driving along the road. Close to the "Stables"?

Ahhh the Vital Spark! Bless her. I found her lying in a yard in Crinnan last week. What a lovely suprise, though she's not looking as good as she does here.

should be a steam engine powering it
Yes your right there was the remains of a puffer in the harbour at Bowling it lay there for many years before being removed it was also called the vital spark there were a few puffers used in the making of the program. The puffer in the video is called "vital spark of glasgow" slight variation, you are also correct in saying there was a football team wearing the puffer logo on their shirts I beleive it was the bay inn. The wee spark is berthed at joes wharf kirkintilloch close to the stables.

No puffers at Bowling. Wee Spark 1/3rd size replica moored at Kirkintilloch on the Forth & Clyde canal.
