Nice site, reflecting the reality that Rothesay still has a wealth of "wee shops". What other town of 7000 has TWO fishmongers ?

Guest		19-Jan-2011 07:45
Just great to look at Rothesay again, what a good little site, regards to all from Phil Mainka in Dubai. philip.mainka@alsa.ae

At last Rothesay is getting back to its old self again with people saying "WERE GOING DOON THE WATTER "this year for THE FAIR FORTNIGHT.

Have you forgotten about The Argyll Arms [The Gluepot] ?

Richard		08-Nov-2008 02:31
Hi Browsing from Perth, Western Australia. One of my ancestors was born at 4 Albert Place in 1877, when I think it was a hotel. Do you have a pic of that building? Richard

Guest		08-Nov-2008 02:28
Hi browsing from Perth Western Australia - would love a pic of 4-6 Albert Place - I'm guessing it's just to the east of Tartan Shop - but which shop is now there? It used to be a hotel (I think) coz one of my ancestors was born there in 1877. Richard

rothesay appears very rundown but has a beautiful situation try to get a grant to bring back the aura of yesteryear sorry not any really original ideas

Guest		21-Jun-2008 18:26
the post office n the cafe with the big cone outside (Zavaroni) ?? not there

Rhiannon		15-Jun-2008 06:47
i think you had alot of bakerys but i thinnk you should get buttons that says bakerys in Brechin, bakerys in Arbroath something like that

alan		22-Mar-2008 23:12
The snap of the Glenburn doesn't do it justice,however i love the gallery well done matey, how about a pic of Eastlands farm cottage on the top of serpentine road?Alan

Guest		15-Oct-2007 14:45

Ashtonian		05-Jun-2007 21:36
This is a great gallery

Liz		11-May-2007 08:13
Great photos, Zak! How about one showing a whole street of shops?

Guest		28-Mar-2007 23:40
Your list is growing Zak...a lot more shops than there used to be...I went to school with Jimmy McIntyre too...small world...

Guest		19-Feb-2007 15:47
I see a few of the oldies still are there...is McIntyres thebutchers son running that shop now I wonder....I went to school with Jimmy McIntyre.... If all the businesses in Rothesay got together and some of them celaned up and painted their store fronts...be very "quaint".... Good pics Zak...you spent a lot of time on them...

John McGuigan		15-Jan-2007 00:05

Great pics Zak...there seems to be a lot of shops in Rothesay now..I don't recognise many of them..apart from Woolies and McIntyres butchers...

northstar37		29-May-2005 21:54

Robin Reid		29-May-2005 19:01
Hope you get paid for all this.

Guest		26-May-2005 22:22
aren't you forgetting the Exotic Massage parlour? ;)

They should pay you for the advertising exposure. The Glenburn looks a good place to stay.
