I’m glad that you’re enjoying my videos, and I’m glad that you enjoyed your time in Scotland. If you do come back to stay, I’m sure that you will be welcomed back with open arms.

Thanks for the video. I was stationed there in Dunoon with the US Navy. We were the last submarine base there. Brings back memories of the nice people, places. the Cowal games. On a weekend we ride the ferry from Dunoon to Gourock then train to Glasgow. Good times.

Love your tour, Claire. I was on the "Simon Lake" in Holy Loch for two years in the US Navy.. I absolutely loved the Scottish people. It was a great infuence in my life and my work. (I eventually worked in Hollywood as an actor/screenwriter, then took my work to London.) A million best wishes, Claire

[@beaudare4717]

I adore your charming Scottish accent!!

[@AScottishOdyssey]

Thank. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the channel. I’m just trying to get it to grow, so that it pays for itself. Then I can get further afield, and visit even more places.

[@beaudare4717]

Claire, Many thanks for your thoughtful note. I'm sure it will be a success, as it's so charmingly done. All best wishes..

[@AScottishOdyssey]

@@beaudare4717 Thank you. It is really appreciated.

I was on the Canopus. I wish I had known more about my wife's family. We didn't get married until I went back to the states. Her grandparents imagrated to the US from Greenkock. That was about six miles from the ship. It would have been fun to try to find some of her relatives. It's all changed now. I was back in '85 and '86 it was pretty much the way I rembered it. However, now places like the Bay Hotel are gone. The Brit reserve base is gone too.

[@AScottishOdyssey]

I’m glad that the video was able to bring back some happy memories. Hopefully you’ll be able to get back for another visit

Nice i stayed on the Isle of Bute about 5 years ago.

[@AScottishOdyssey]

I need to get over to Bute, at some point. It’s just trying to find the time and money to do so. I hope that you enjoyed your visit.

[@jones1068]

@@AScottishOdyssey It was nice I took a ferry over to the north side of the island with the bike and did some cycling there. When you go to Bute you should do a video I will watch it 👍.

[@AScottishOdyssey]

@@jones1068 I'm sure that I will do a fair few videos, when I get to Bute. The Isle of Bute is one of the road routes for the Coig - thecoig.com/
