Stayed in Girvan recently. Best AirBnb ever. Paid the same price for worst AirBnb ever in Oban. Walks near Girvan are spectacular, some of the best. But Girvan itself is sad, needs refurbishment/advertising/Something to draw the tourists in. Lots of potential but the walks/forests/ scenery need to be promoted more because there is nothing to draw people to Girvan itself.

Quit being deluded; I was brought up here in Crookedholm and Hurlford from age 3-16; it is a run-down shite hole full of junkies and neds n scum now. When I was a kid my gran worked at the Kay Park trampoline and crazy golf hut, so always got free entry lol, the old baths with the wave machine were a treat, as were The Galleon, The Dean Park and free tours for having a library ticket was good, 20p for a bag of animal feed. Some of my best memories are in this shite hole, but that is the thing, as a kid you are oblivious to the scum bags. ;)

I'm doing a fictional novel set at BMC in 1966 that is a murder/mystery. The hero of the book (a Graduate Trainee) does a stint at Bathgate where Harold Musgrove was Plant Director. I've got some stories from Harold of those days, but any others from people who worked there would be great. I'm an ex Austin Apprentice!

I've always known we have Scottish ancestors, but it didn't show up in my specific Ancestry DNA results-though my cousin's did. Well, my mother finally took the 23andMe test, and hers confirmed Scotland, with a "very close" genetic link to Fife! I’ve been to Edinburgh before, and I absolutely loved it-it felt like home.

@thewanderingkilt4698 Ай бұрын

Fife is such a beautiful part of Scotland, check out some of my other videos from there, culross, dysart, crail, pittenweem,falkland and st andrews. It will give you an idea of the place. I hope you visit sometime soon. Have you traced your ancestry? It could lead you to some amazing places.cheers g.

Great video mate. A nice wee trip down memoery lane for me. Flannigans was my first pub ever, and i loved it there. To be fair, most pubs in Bathgate were good back in the 80s. The auld miners was superb on a Sunday for a sing song and the best characters you could ever meet. Its been 40 years since i was last in my hometown, and its changed so much, why have they destroyed the steel yard 😢

I sometimes used to go on holiday to Girvan when I was a child in the 1960s. I remember going on the little motor boats around the boating pond and I can remember there was also a futuristic structure on the island in the middle. Maybe my memory deceives me, but Girvan is looking very run down compared to what I can remember.

Hi, as a CSW-Air cadet at this event. The pace was constantly changing due to the brass band infront of us this was a constant issue and the step itself was constantly changing and unable to stay constant due to the Brass bands truck ahead of us and the turnings of the road or whatever ahead stopped the step. this also was different for Flight A and B. The person taking the parade for step was at the very front and it was difficult to hear calls even from the back of the front flight which I was in right beside banner party, this was also prevalent with the other 2 cadet forces aswell S.C.C not as much since there was about 6 of them 😂
