Rothesay in the Glorious 50’s
“Royal Rothesay” Isle of Bute with its magnificent beauty and its historic past is well deserved of its royal title. Whether you have links to the Isle of Bute or it holds warm memories of past trips or holidays 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 or 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. As the elegant PS Jeanie Deans sweeps into Rothesay Bay with a full load of new passengers our holiday comes to and end and it’s time to leave. Filmed during the last great peak in the popularity of this beautiful island we invite you to visit or revisit the scenes, places and events of this magical “clyde resort” .
