Rothesay...Ilse of Bute
Rothesay is a smart Victorian seaside resort and the main town on the east side of Isle of Bute.
This highly accessibly town is very traditional and good looking with signs of its Victorian heritage including a splendid Victorian frontage cradling the romantic Rothesay Bay. Dominating the shoreline amongst the glorious esplanade gardens is the refurbished Isle of Bute Discovery Centre, a unique 1920s circular structure of cast iron and glass, now incorporating a cinema, theatre and many interactive displays as well as showcasing the best of Bute.
Visitors can also explore the impressive Rothesay Castle, its dungeons, thick outer walls and grand hall which are all now fully restored. Just behind it sits the fascinating Bute Museum.
To the north of Rothesay, through the small community of Port Bannatyne, lies Ettrick Bay, Bute’s most accessible beach, which is a relative safe haven for able swimmers.

Isle of Bute, Rothesay Victorian Toilets.mp4
And what a relief for the blokes! For some reason, they moved the Victorian arcade and let the men get wet on their business trips - my Grandpapa would not have approved!
Scottish Victorian Toilet Rothesay
Victorian Toilet Isle of Bute
Rothesay Pier Head toilets, Isle of Bute, Scotland Victorian toilets and marble urinals
It has been more than eight years since I last saw these toilets which was meant to be my first film but I lost the footage.
Nothing has changed since then and the toilets are as they where when restored in 1994. The building originally was for men only built in 1899 but modern ladies were added during the renovation.
The toilets feature their original ceramic urinals encased in marble with glass cisterns while the toilet pans and cisterns are second hand. The original wash basins remain but are no longer in use and Victorian style replicas have been added.
These toilets are regarded as the best in the United Kingdom and are regarded a tourist attraction on the island.

kaleeM rajA's favourite artists: Paul Martin - Victorian photographer
Paul Augustus Martin, 1864-1944
(born Herbeuville, Alsace-Lorraine, 16 April 1864; died Paul Agustus Martin, London, 7 July 1944). English photographer of French birth. At the age of sixteen he was apprenticed to a wood-engraver. He took up photography as a hobby in 1884, though working as an engraver, using a Fallowfield Facile hand camera to take unusual snapshots of the Victorians bathing, paddling, or playing on the sand at Yarmouth in 1892 (London, V&A). The camera, camouflaged as a brown paper parcel, was held under the arm; Martin encased his in leather and improved its mechanism. He recorded street life in London by taking photographs of the sherbet- and water-sellers, Billingsgate fish porters and the police making an arrest. In 1896 he gained the Royal Photographic Society’s Gold Medal for his pioneering night photography. This preceded Alfred Stieglitz’s better-known scenes of New York. Martin’s Eros in Piccadilly Circus (1896; Austin, U. TX, Human. Res. Cent., Gernsheim Col.) required a 15-minute exposure with the lens shielded from the lights of passing traffic. He presented these as lantern slides, tinted yellow and blue to heighten the effect of the gas street lamps. His work provides a link between 19th-century pictorialism and 20th-century realism.

Christmas Day Dunvegan Castle Isle Of Skye Inner Hebrides Scotland
Tour Scotland Christmas Day travel video of Dunvegan Castle on visit to the West Coast of the Isle Of Skye, Inner Hebrides. Built on a rock in an idyllic loch side setting, Dunvegan is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland. It is the seat of the MacLeod of MacLeod, chief of the Clan MacLeod. Probably a fortified site from the earliest times, the castle was first built in the 13th century and developed piecemeal over the centuries. In the 19th century the whole castle was remodelled in a mock medieval style. Dunvegan Castle has been the home of the chiefs of the Clan MacLeod since 1270. Sir Reginald MacLeod of MacLeod, KCB, born 1st of February 1847, died 20th of August 1935, was the 27th chief of the Scottish clan Clan MacLeod. He was the son of Norman MacLeod of MacLeod, born 1812, died 1898, 25th chief of Clan MacLeod and his wife Louisa Barbara St. John, born 1818, died 1880, only daughter of the 14th Baron St John of Bletso. He was educated at Harrow and Cambridge. On 17th of April 1877, MacLeod of MacLeod married Lady Agnes Mary Cecilia Northcote the daughter of Sir Stafford Northcote, later 1st Earl of Iddesleigh, and Cecilia Frances Farrer. They had two daughters. Sir Reginald became 27th chief of Clan MacLeod in 1929 on the death of his elder brother Norman Magnus and died six years later in 1935. His daughter Olive was noted for her journey of 3,700 miles into the heart of Africa to visit her fiancé's grave. The MacLeod waterfalls on the Moa Kabi river are named after her. The famous Fairy Flag of the MacLeod's was mounted by Sir Reginald. An expert from the Victoria and Albert Museum discussed with Sir Reginald the possible origins of the flag, avoiding reference to the supernatural. The chief listened and said, You may believe that, but I know that it was given to my ancestor by the fairies. Sir Reginald was the owner of the island of St Kilda when the last inhabitants left the island in 1930. He sold the island to Lord Dumfries, later Marquess of Bute in 1931.
