Ernst Glenn (1896-1986) was a life enthusiast and photographer, starting out as a young man in the 20th century. His legacy is a wide range of negatives and remarkable note that span over nearly eighty years - from Edwardian ships to modern car phrases.

Until the publication of this book, these have remained unpublished. In this album, Ernst's daughter, Ann Glenn and his grandson, Bruce Peter, chose more than 200 pictures of his ships and ferries on the Clyde River and in the western islands..
