Scott,
I'd have got in sooner, but I've been setting up a new computer (Athlon
XP, big leap from the old Pentium 3), so am a bit late.
I'd suggest Piers has this absolutely correct. It's not unknown for
Clyde-based sailing organisations to have associations with more northerly
names, and vice-versa. The Oban area may well have been the location for
the seasonal anchorage. Kintyre and the Crinan are actually considered
within the Clyde area, nautically speaking.
As to the reflections from scanning, I got the same trying to scan my
great-uncle's cycling medals, which unfortunately couldn't be masked. I
think masking will solve your problem pretty well, with there being no
glass present.
There may be records of the RCYC; you could try the Mitchell Library in
Glasgow. I could dig out an address if you like, or you could Google it.
