If everybody knows everybody else you're bound to know them all. Are you far away from there now?

Do the population all have similar noses and a talent for pointing at things in the sky?

Bute's lovely Kate. My pal used to live in Ascog - just a wee row of houses, a postbox and a harbour wall, but it was beautiful. :)

Technically, for those who dont get 'it' the Isle of Bute is indeed an island and the main town is Rothesay.
It was a popular holiday desination during the Glasgow Fair (trade fortnight) when people used to get on a steamer down the Clyde.Happy days indeed -I even went on a school day trip there.............bet its just a jaded old town now:(
I'll watch it tho Kate as there was a prog on for the isle of Arran last week and theres money there-lovely island:)

This would be about 19 years ago - I think most of the houses were part of the Mount Stuart estate. My friend worked there as a gardener and lived in a tied cottage, it was always lovely to be able to get down for a visit, but I've not been back in years. Not since he got fired for telling Lady Bute to F off :)
