Synopsis:
Scottish History Memories of Royal Rothesay: Isle of Bute 1920-1990 The Madeira of Scotland and the Pearl of the Clyde are terms once frequently associated with this beautiful Clyde island and early Victorian holiday destination. It's the late 1920's Glasgow Fair Holiday and Rothesay's piers and prom are crowded with holiday makers. Share the times and fun as visitors take a tram to Ettrick Bay or relax on Rothesay Bay beach where "children's corner" is ever popular with youngsters. Experience iconic scene as the St. Columba steams majestically down the Kyles of Bute passing Loch Striven and the TS Queen Mary glides elegantly into Rothesay Bay.
We catch a rare glimpse of the famous paddle steamer PS Jeanie Deans in 1954 as she departs from Rothesay pier. Narrated by C M. Liddell. Rothesay Isle of Bute in the Glorious 50s "Royal Rothesay" Isle of Bute with its magnificent beauty and its historic past is well deserved of its royal title. We invite you to sail back in time to experience Rothesay in the glorious 1950's. Its 1954 and "Glasgow Fair fortnight", the pier in Rothesay Bay is packed with passengers disembarking from one of the many proud Clyde Steamers including the Marchioness of Lorne, The PS Caledonia and the PS Jeanie Deans. Revisit holiday scenes on the beach and promenade at Rothesay, Ettrick or Scalpsie Bay. Entertainment was in abundance with places to visit including Rothesay Castle, Skeoch Woods, Loch Fad, or live entertainment at the Winter Gardens or for those more energetic then a round of golf at the golf course overlooking Canada Hill or a short sailing trip aboard the Gay Queen or the Victor. All too soon the elegant PS Jeanie Deans sweeps into Rothesay Bay our holiday at an and end and it's time to leave. Filmed during the last great peak in the popularity of this beautiful island. Narrated by Magnus Magnusson.
