Where did the Royal Navy families stay in Rothesay ?
E-mail 03 June 2020 from Helen G (Glasgow)
As a young girl in 1960s my parents and I often visited my aunt in Rothesay …(Isle of Bute, Firth of Clyde,) It was exciting to see a big Royal Navy ship, I remember her name was MAIDSTONE, and she was anchored in the bay. There was always submarines about her and sailors in uniform in the town. My aunt used to tell that some sailors and their families stayed in “Navy Houses” in Rothesay. Does anyone know where the houses were ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
