USEFUL C OUNTY and BURGHAL INFORMATION, ANNIVERSARIES, &c, OFFICIALS, HOUSEHOLDERS, and TRADERS. ROTHES AY: HIGGLE & CO., PUBLISHERS. With HIGGIE & CO.'s compts. PREFACE TO 1910-11 EDITION, WE have again diligently and carefully collected and arrranged useful information regarding Buteshire as it is fco-day—with its officials, householders, v and business people—and once more have pleasure in giv- ing the compilation the honours of the Press. The previous four sections of the Directory are con- tinued, and to facilitate the search for information the different portions are again printed on distinctively coloured papers—a feature of acknowledged benefit for expeditious reference. As our Advertising friends appreciate the distribu- tion of their announcements facing the text of the book, we hope, with continued prompt receipt of orders, to be enabled to make permanent this decided benefit. Our desire is to overlook no interest, and therefore, we respectfully solicit notices of alterations or additions as early as possible, so that these may be given effect to. This Directory is a much' more important publication than many imagine. It is not only at hand for reference at all- times throughout the county, but it is also ready for reference in the libraries of Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Cambridge, Oxford, &c, and in numerous business houses and agencies in busy centres throughout the king- dom, so we are particularly anxious that nothing of benefit to Buteshire be omitted, but that all interests have a good show, and everything be brought thoroughly up to date. Our best thanks are again accorded to those who have in any way helped us in this compilation. It takes long and careful vigilance to ascertain and give effect to the continual changes, and prompt information and orders are, consequently, particularly acceptable and valuable.

The story of the Historic Families of Ayrshire is one of «xceptional interest, as well from the personal as from the county, as here and there from the national, standpoint. As one traces it along the centuries he realises, what it is sometimes difficult to do in a general historical survey, what sort of men they were who carried on the succession of events, and obtains many a glimpse into their own character that reveals their individuality and their idiosyncracies, as well as the motives that actuated and that animated them.

  • Parish Profile

    Parish Profile

    Rothesay : Trinity Church of Scotland Parish Profile Introduction This scenic island parish, with quick and easy links to the mainland, is seeking a Minister with leadership and pastoral skills. Our vision for the future is of a Church of Scotland congregation continuing in the centre of the historic Royal Burgh of Rothesay which ministers to the spiritual and social needs of both those within the church walls and those without. To achieve this we will continue to work with and for all age groups in the community, changing, adapting and expanding as the need arises, led by an enthusiastic minster who is interested in and cares for all God’s people in the Parish. The Charge Rothesay : Trinity is a charge without restriction. It is in a Parish Grouping with the United Church of Bute, our sister Church of Scotland charge on the Island. Consequently, the Parish boundary for both charges is the whole Island. The congregation was founded at the Disruption in 1842 and is now the result of several unions going back to 1929 when the congregation joined in the union of the United Free Church of Scotland with the Church of Scotland and the name Trinity came into being. Several other unions have take place namely:- 1938 with St James Church 1942 with Craigmore High Church 1979 with the West Church The present congregational roll is 330. Worship Throughout the year Sunday Morning Worship is held at 11 am, with an Evening Service on the first Sunday of each month at 6.30 pm. There is also a 30 minute service on Thursday mornings at 11.15 am, which is held in our Small Hall.

Argyll covers the southwestern islands and western peninsulas of Scotland. While Ayrshire boundaries are well marked, Argyll is a bit more amorphous, encompassing a region that historically stretches into the Highlands. One of Ayrshire’s primary attractions is “Burns Country,” because the area was the poet Robert Burns’s birthplace as well as his predominant stomping grounds for most of his life. But Ayrshire also offers golfers some of the best links courses in the world. If you take the train from Glasgow to Ayr, the main town of Ayrshire, you can see one course after another in the sandy dunes along the shoreline. Argyll, which means the “coast of the Gaels,” encompasses islands such as Bute and Arran as well as the more remote Kintyre Peninsula. Kintyre is so sufficiently isolated that ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has long owned a ranch there where he and his family can retreat from prying eyes. It takes the better part of the day just to reach Kintyre, however, so I don’t dwellCOPYRIGHTED on its charms for too long in this MATERIAL chapter.

At the same time SURF (Scotland’s Regeneration Network), supported by Argyll and Bute Council and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), began a process of connecting local community and regional/national partners, as part of SURF’s wider ‘Alliance for Action’ initiative. Initially developed through a HIE funded feasibility study in 2014, the SURF project drew together a Rothesay and Bute focused stakeholders group, which began to prioritise and address some of the issues highlighted in the community meeting. Since this time the number and range of businesses, organisations, charities and individuals involved has steadily grown and with it the conviction that a better Bute is possible.
