Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)
Good morning every body all are welcome on here. Gumbud I was over at Bute a few weeks ago and we visited the tearoom at Mount Stuart. I have been there quite times visiting the House. I can see Arran every day and sometimes Ailsa Craig on a really good day.

Apologies to Abbey - and anyone else I've overlooked. I seem to be getting my pages mixed up and have missed some posts.
I've been to Dumfries House grounds a couple of times Abbey. A great place to walk around. I haven't been on a tour of the house as yet. Very grand I'm told. It's all run and maintained by The Princes Trust. HRH often stays there.
I'll try and keep abreast of all the posts in future !
Mike.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)
Some years ago I was a cub/scout leader in South London. I organised a two week summer camp in Scotland which involved almost one hundred boys plus adults and included the Gourock to Dunoon ferry. Great fun!! We had to shift almost three tons of camping gear including marquees so I put a plea for help in a local paper and I had a phonecall from McAlpines the construction company who kindly offered to transport the lot there and back for free! All they asked me to do was put a short thank you message in a local paper in the Dunoon area of Scotland. Needless to say I was more than pleased to do that. Apart from an almost daily trip to hospital with one boy and his cut foot and another boy capsizing his canoe on a loch, the two week camp was a winner.01-09-2016, 03:09 PM

We went on the tour of the house and it was fabulous . The furniture and in particular the chandeliers were just amazing .
I've never seen anything like them ! Joanna lumley was on the tour we were on and couldn't have been nicer .
After all that , there's a very nice tearoom
