Golden Oldie. Davie, you must have just been 3 or 4 years old back in Ralston Road, Campbeltown in this next photo. You definitely look like Harris and Ryan here pal…. 

Julie and Davie in 1986.

Sorry Buddy, your Mum gave me this photo!

Davie, I am not sure how your wedding seating plan went for Forbes of Kingennie, but your Mum ended up sitting with me at the side bit. Oldies now!

But young once, a loooong time ago…

Getting Even Older

^^ Dylan + Russ + Ryan: Christmas Day 2023 ^^

At Russ’ House

At this time, the two boys really are holding up the Old Man.

Possibly the most shocking thing is that in this exact room 8 years earlier, (the lounge at Russ’ house), Ryan was playing with Lego. Russ may have aged a bit like a dinosaur, but Ryan has been eating rocket fuel. Not just in getting taller. but becoming an ACE FOOTBALLER …

Dad’s Surprise For Dylan & Ryan

Greig Laidlaw was a gentleman that day. Dylan and Ryan will never forget this…

Davie, I think one of us should have seen this coming! Ryan always had a football with him, even at Sannox Hotel…

^^ At Sannox Hotel on Arran ^^

The boys went to visit Blackrock House Hotel where there Grandpaw grew up.

^^ Blackrock House Hotel ^^

The boys asked to go fishing in a boat like the ones their great uncle Ian let float away when he went up the hill to snog his girlfriend whilst his Big Brother was working hard at the petrol pump in Brodick

^^ Corrie Port ^^

No wee boats available. Dylan + Ryan were promised a go in Russ’ big boat once he can sort out the crew to bring it back from the guys he sold it to in Iceland.

^^ MV Lochmor ^^

Was The CalMac Ferry From Eigg Rum & Muck…

Russ’ Ship Before CalMac Colours Painted Out

^^ Russ Driving MV Lochmor ^^

Chief Engineer Donnie Woodrow to the left and RNLI Coxswain Jim McPhee to the right. This photo dates way back to 2001. Who would have imagined the MV Lochmor would be operating se tours out f the renovated Sannox Hotel…

^^ Sannox Hotel ^^

The building with the small van parked across the road from it.

The wee MV Lochmor IS for sale and IF the engines are still in decent order and pass the Chief’s inspection, then the ship will becoming back to Arran.

The CalMac Ferry At Eigg Rum & Muck.

But since MV Lochmor had the major refit, the internal accommodation is much improved. For example, plenty of deck space in which to dine…

Though, best we hope Ryanaldo has stopped getting chocolate birthday cake all over the place to the point that he and the family near got evicted from the hotel!

^^ Ryan & Pure Mischief ^^

Meanwhile, preparations are being made for sea-tours based out of Sannox Hotel, and emergency backup for when the min ferry has broken down. MV Lochmor is a Class IIa ferry which is the same Class as the MV Isle of Arran. So MV Lochmor is most capable of ferrying up to 180 passengers back and forth to the mainland, as well as touring the local islands.

=> Why no other hotel on the Island of Arran has not yet done this is a mystery to us.
