Old Photographs Rothesay Scotland


Old photograph of Rothesay, Bute, Scotland. During the Victorian era, Rothesay developed as a popular tourist destination. It became hugely popular with Glaswegians going " doon the watter ", which means: down the water, where the 'water' in question is the Firth of Clyde, and its wooden pier was once much busier with steamer traffic than it is today.
