Oh you've fair put me in the mood for another west coast island adventure! Rothesay looking beautiful in the sun, and nice to see the guy with the strimmer still following you :D
Robert - thank you so much for stopping to introduce yourself. Great to have a wee chat! I managed to finish filming my video in Glasgow today before it started raining! 😂
Rothsay... one of Norway's few capitols during the excistence of Norway. It was the in-facto capitol of Norway in the year 1267 or thereabout (the other capitols are Bergen, Trondheim, Tønsberg and Oslo..... ). I live in Paisley and likes to visit Rothesay at least once a year. I also worked at IBM whose the now closed train station IBM Halt is on the route. I have also cycled around Bute and taken that open top bus. The whole island, Bute, is great. Look out for ospreys, eagles, fat pigs and spitting alpacas when going to the west side of Bute. Rothesay has an abundance of fat cats. Great video and it has reminded me that I should do this tour sometimes later this month. Btw you forgot to visit the Victorian-era public lavatory, voted the finest public lavatory in Great Britain many times over. The toilets are next to the ferry. Well worth a visit.
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing all this info. I did go into the Victorian Toilets and even filmed them - but in the end I didn’t include the footage in the video. I’ll maybe make a Short out of it! ☺️
Enjoying your videos about the railway stations hotels series so far i enjoyed the this one too wat a lovely place to visit. on one of your blogs you visited Penrith in cumbria i spent 4 yrs going there to Newton Rigg Collage learning Horticulture when i worked for the local council in Workington i also notice you a Magnum fan Rog wat a great band Tony clarkin sadly missed. keep the videos coming Rog i look forward to the next vid all the best
Thanks so much h for watching and for sharing your story. I first saw Magnum in concert back in 1985 and went on to see them 9 more times. I was very upset to hear about Tony. He left us with so much amazing music. 🥲🎸
Cheers for your reply Rog I followed them from the first time when I herd On a Storytellers Night album and seen them many times over the yrs including the time they played at workington town ruby league club on the first Cumbria Rock festival then later yrs on in our Carnegie Theater wat brilliant nights they were R.I.P Tony C as Bob C would sing Keep Your Night Light Shinning and finally keep up with your brilliant videos Roger
Great day out, Roger, and looks like had no train cancellations. Great weather as well! Did plenty of trips, "Doon the Watter" in the '60's. A long time since I was in Rothesay, brought back memories. Pity didn't stay overnight. Yes, the architecture of Wemyss Bay station is spectacular. You'd think that a paper ticket would cover the entire journey, including the ferry! Overall price was good, considering all the travel involved! Thanks for sharing. 😊 👍
Hey what a brilliant journey Roger....absolutely loved this one.. you narf pull out some belting videos mate..... this is another on my bucket list but hey...slow down.... I'm only alive for so long. 😆 🤣 😂.... see you soon mate.... Richard in Newcastle upon Tyne 😀
You really should have booked a hotel, there is so much more to see and you didn't even cover Mount Stuart 😱 Great video though and glad to see you're 100% over your COVID
this is one of my favourite videos of yours :D a great journey beautifully shot, with gorgeous weather too which is a bonus but it just made it even more stunning 💓💓
Gorgeous place. Scalpsie Bay there one of my all time favourites. Lucky enough to see The Royal Scotsman at Wemyss Bay Station - their 3 day Highland Tour is one for you - you could critique the seats!! ❤
Thanks for another great trip Rog. It bought back memories of my journey between Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Queen St. I travelled in 2019 and I'm sure that Road Cone was on that statue in George Square way back then. I met a friend under the Clock at Glasgow Central ! I have put the Isle of Bute on my wish list, as it has so much to see for a traveller from New Zealand.
Another super video highly entertaining Rog, well done. Not least for catching the one day of summer in Scotland 😆 On the subject of paper tickets, I used the TrainLine app in the past and more recently TrainPal who I've found undercut Trainline's prices but both issue a 6-digit reference to exchange for paper tickets, which end up being a good keepsake as a souvenir of my trips. 😊 I've never been to that neck of the woods there either despite being reasonably well-placed in Northern Ireland but some fine day (hopefully as fine as you got!) I really must do. Years back I did a run around Orkney Shetland via Loganair but never done the overland stuff with Cal-Mac before, it looks great. 🙂
@@RogEdwardsTV looking forward to the Isle of Man next month myself. Haven't been over there since I was a kid, I feel that unlike most places since those long ago days 😄 the Isle of Man hasn't really changed at all but I'm looking forward to finding out. The craft that takes you there nowadays certainly has though 👍🙂
@@RogEdwardsTV it's a popular spot for Northern Irish folk traditionally so have had several family holidays there as a kid very many moons ago now. It used to be the best part of 5 hours journey on the boat but nowadays the IOMSP use fast craft and catamarans taking more like 2 hours so I'm really looking forward to those the most I think 👍 Cheers Rog. 🙂
WEMYSS BAY MOST PROBABLY THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF A VICTORIAN RAILWAY STATION IN SCOTLAND ALSO WORTH A VISIT IS THE VICTORIAN TOILETS ON ROTHESAY ALTHOUGH NOT A LOT MORE.
The ferry ride to Rothesay was fabulous. Anyone been on any interesting ferries recently? Please share your recommendations in the comments below! 😀

Cheers Steve. Would love to do some more exploring there. Maybe I should buy Mr Strimmer a beer? 🍺
Good meeting you today Roger, all best with your channel.
Robert - thank you so much for stopping to introduce yourself. Great to have a wee chat! I managed to finish filming my video in Glasgow today before it started raining! 😂
Rothesay is one of my most favorite places… from childhood through to my annual trips home from the USA. 🏴
Thanks for watching and enjoy your next trip over. 😀
Great content Rog was a pleasure to cross paths with you on the Ferry today abd look forward seeing more of your Adventures 💪🏻😃
Hey! Good to see you! I see what you mean about our channel names! 😀
Thanks for sharing this adventure Roger! This was a fun one to follow!
Cheers, Jett. Thanks for watching!

😂😂 Cheers Richard.
Stunning! The whole journey 😊
Had a great day. Reminded me how good it is to get out on the water. 😀
@@RogEdwardsTV Yes, you keep adding trips to my bucketlist. I’m sure those two beers on the way back tasted amazing 👌😎
You really should have booked a hotel, there is so much more to see and you didn't even cover Mount Stuart 😱

Thanks, Stu. Yes should have stayed over. Next time. 👍
this is one of my favourite videos of yours :D a great journey beautifully shot, with gorgeous weather too which is a bonus but it just made it even more stunning 💓💓
Thanks. Definitely got lucky with the weather. Being out on the water in those conditions was so nice! 🛳️
Gorgeous place. Scalpsie Bay there one of my all time favourites. Lucky enough to see The Royal Scotsman at Wemyss Bay Station - their 3 day Highland Tour is one for you - you could critique the seats!! ❤
Thanks Karen. I just looked up Scalpsie Bay on Google Maps - looks lovely. 😀

Thanks so much for watching. Hope to see your photos from Bute someday!
Great place for a pub crawl. We get on at the last Greenock station and get ferry over. Great days out.
Thanks Gordon. What a great idea. I saw quite a few pubs as I was walking around. Great beer weather! 🍺
Paper tickets are king

Oh have a great time. Only been to the IOM once and it was a corporate conference so didn't see much of the island!

I have not been to Argyll and Bute but one of my father's academic acquaintances goes to Easdale and has climbed various Munros.
Definitely one for your trip list! 😀
Wow, that does look like a great day out! What time did you have to leave and how long did you get in Rothesay?
There are ferries connecting with trains every hour. I had 3 hours there. Left at 3pm.😀
@@RogEdwardsTV OK great, thanks for the info.

Thanks Michael. I did film the Victorian toilets but decided not to include the footage in the final edit. ☺️
You can get a ayr train from edinbugh to paisley gilmour street and a train from paisley gilmour street to wemyss bay for ferry to rothsey
Thanks for that!
Paisley is definitely on my bucket list for the Alien at Paisley Abbey 😁
Living the dream Rog ......apart from Wallyford😀😀
Cheers! 😀
@@RogEdwardsTV I dunno, that close to 'brugh has gotta be a bonus without the ££ lol

Paper tickets better FAR better
😀Cheers.

Flappy tickets! 😂
