My Father owned a Newsagent's shop in the High Street from 1946 to 1985. I left the Island in 1964 to come to Canada with the Hudson's Bay Company. I have been back many a time, it is a great wee place.

Marion Clark (nee Duncan)
Have had great fun reading the messages. I was born in Rothesay in 1940. Mother was Mary Duncan (nee Murdoch) who died in Glasgow in 1991, the same year my brother Dan died. My other brother Angus died in Erskine Home,Bishopton in January 2010. I'll be visiting Bute with his ashes later in the summer. I left the island in 1963 but have many happy memories of a wonderful life there in our little house in High Street (now the police station). Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or my family.

My father who is now sadly deceased used to tell me he went in search of a cousin in Bute during the war years when on leave from the Army and found her married with the surname Thorburn. The family had a wet fish shop and their were other members of the family but he could not remember their names. His name was Doug Crawley. His sister Margaret is still alive and I said I would try and find any reletives who may still be on the Isle. I believe I found Willie Thorburn in a fish shop in the 1951 business directory and wondered if any of the family look at this guest book.
