Extract from Troop Log

Saturday 22nd April 1961

The Troop met “UP Glug”(1) and got the 1.08 train for Rothesay. Those present were S.M. R.K. Miller, P.L. Ronald Lind, Ian Paterson, Alan Jeyes, R. McKelvie, Bobby McCallum, Ronald Russell, George Gray and John Moore.(3) As the train drew out of Up Glug, R. McKelvie made the pronouncement that he had left his swimming gear at the station. When the troop arrived at Rothesay, they met Ian McFarlane who was going home(2). A fabby ??? time was had by all and a souvenir was left by Alan Jeyes in the shape of his flippers.

Editors notes

1. “Up Glug” is not defined. Possibly it meant Port Glasgow in order to get the train to Wemyss Bay.

2. Ian McFarlane is in a couple of photographs, so it is not clear whether he joined the group or not. Depends on whether the photos were taken at Wemyss Bay pier or Rothesay pier.

3. Donald Hamilton was also present
