    ASCOG HOUSE AND MEIKLE ASCOG, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE The history of the Ascog demesne goes back further than either of the two houses on it. In 1312 Robert the Bruce is said to have given Ascog to the Bute family of Glass. In 1594, the estate, including a mill, Loch Ascog and Nether and Over Ascog, was bought by John Stewart of Kilchattan, a distant kinsman of the Stewarts of Bute who became Earls and later Marquesses of Bute. Ascog House - John Stewart may have built the first house at Ascog, replacing an older tower. Despite the date of 1678 above one of the dormer windows, the original Ascog House was built earlier than that. With its stair tower and cap-house, it is of a type commonly built around 1600. In addition, in the wall of the present kitchen is part of a grand chimneypiece. This belonged to a great hall whose floor and ceiling were both at a higher level than today. In 1673 John Stewart of Ascog, grandson of the first John Stewart, married Margaret Cunningharn and it is their initials that are engraved on the house. They must have carried out a major reconstruction, lowering the floors to create two main storeys, and adding the dormer windows. John Stewart was rich enough to lend the Earl of Bute £9,385 to help re-build Rothesay Castle after damage in the Civil War. He was also crowner or coroner of Bute from 1666-98. During the 18th century, the original mullion windows of Ascog House were enlarged and fitted with sash and casement frames.

  • The Vicar's Letter
    The Vicar’s Letter The Vicarage, Waltham Road, (corner of Foliejohn Way) Woodlands Park Telephone 01628 822000 Dear Friends, For the past couple of days, our house has been under siege — from a jay. There is a pair of them building a nest in a large tree just across the road, and while one busies itself pulling apart a small tree in our garden to provide nesting material, the other has decided to try to get into the house. Indeed, even as I write this, it is pecking at the window behind me. It’s tried all the windows on this side of the house: pecking and scratching, high up and low down, perched on the sill or hovering with its wings. And it’s left messy marks, some apparently of its own blood, all over some of them. For a bird which is meant to be (relatively) intelligent, it is proving itself to be remarkably thick. I’ll give it full marks for persistence, but you’d have thought it ought to have learned by now that there really is no way in. I can’t imagine what it hopes to gain by coming in, but what is certain is that its goal is unattainable, and all it will achieve is to waste a lot of time and effort getting hugely frustrated and more than likely hurting itself in the process. Coincidentally, I’ve also been reading the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. It’s a ruthless exposure of how we humans often behave in ways which are really quite similar.

  • The Vicar's Letter
    The Vicar’s Letter The Vicarage, Waltham Road, (corner of Foliejohn Way) Woodlands Park Telephone 01628 822000 Dear Friends, When I was little, I could never understand the attitude of grown-ups to snow. Snow was fun. Snow was enjoyable. Snow gave you the opportunity to make snowmen, have snowball fights, or go tobogganing. And we didn’t get nearly enough of it. So when it snowed it was exciting. It was something to be welcomed with joy. But grown-ups didn’t seem to think so. They complained about it. They hoped it wouldn’t snow, and grumbled when it did. They thought it was a nuisance. Now I’ve grown up myself I can see both sides. I understand why many of us really don’t like the snow (however much we may say we want a ‘white Christmas’). I know the frustrations when bad weather means that we can’t do what we had planned to do, or when others can’t do what we were relying on them to do. And there are obvious problems for those whose jobs involve trying to get about or working outside, or who have a long commute. But if I’m honest, then I still side with the children. These last few weeks we have seen more snow than I think I have ever experienced before — certainly in my adult life. By the time you read this that may be just a memory, or we may have had yet more. But every time it’s happened, or been promised, then (whatever difficulties it has caused to my own plans) deep down I have had that frisson of excitement that I used to get as a child.

  • Windsor and Maidenhead
    5/9/2018 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Windsor and Maidenhead Personal Details: Name: Robert Elmes E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Splitting the great park from Old Windsor into Ascot is madness. This seems to be just about the numbers with no consideration for the community or good governance. The great park residences utilise many services in Old Windsor and this change would leave them isolated in that respect. Also including areas of Windsor such as King Edward VII Hospital and Trevelyan school is short sighted. These areas identify, rightly so, with the urban town of Windsor, rather than the rural village of Old Windsor. People in these areas have very different needs and their councillors should be able to reflect those. I don't see how good governance could come about by "tagging on" this area just to make up some numbers. I strongly urge the commission to review the currently proposed boundary changes, being made to mainly accommodate changes in Maidenhead, to not take an approach that detriments other areas. This could be in terms of changing the boundary to better reflect the local topology and demographic and/or rethinking the number of councillors actually required to allow for a boundary setup that actually meets the needs of the people, rather than (as it seems) plucking out of thin air a target number and then trying to make that fit.
