The original funnel is described as “navy yellow”, assumed by Rosanoski to mean Admiralty Pattern T820. The lion rampant is based on the Scottish Royal Standard.
Haws shows a rampant guardant lion, considered incorrect according to Langmuir.
The dark-buff LM&S funnel was adopted in 1923. Its band narrowed in 1924 and was removed in May 1925, when yellow was adopted as C318, with a black top. The flag image uses the upright Scottish Standard lion rather than Lloyds’ C668 form; the cited MN account does not show the flag. Haws’s statement of a 1951 reversion is unclear in the source, which again refers to C318. Maid of the Loch retained a plain yellow funnel in 1965, presumed still to have its black top.
The flag is a navy-yellow pennant bearing the red lion rampant. The funnel emblem first appeared on Caledonian Princess in 1961 and on Glen Sannox in summer 1964, with adoption across the fleet apparently following the 1965 changes. Opposition to British Rail’s new livery led to retention of the red funnel and lion emblem, except for Maid of the Loch’s plain yellow funnel. Continued flag use is presumed, not stated by the cited account.
