Very informative George, good job.👍

My Paternal Grandparents were from Paisley & immigrated to Canada in the late 1800's. My Grand Mother , I've been told, was Lady Jane Bryson. My father was born in Canada in 1903.

Great video,didn't feel the music complimented it

love this. Fiundit by accident and loved seeing my hometown!

Hi George I’m enjoying the videos,brilliant,it’s great you know your History let’s folk know what’s been going on all those years past,great Pal.

A huge thanks for this video. I'm an Ayr born lad only a few short weeks off turning 80, but I left Ayr for the land down under in 1954 aged 9. My Grandparents and their children including my mother lived in a flat above what is now Aldi (as best a guess based on a family history story my Uncle wrote.) They moved to Lochside Rd. I think in the late 1930's. I vaguely remember walking up and down the main street and going over the bridge, I remember friends and I trying to row a boat on the river, probably in the early 1950's. I also remember the beach.

A very pleasant vid that brought back good n bad memories, as a child cycling down the coast from Port Seton to the newt and frog ponds across the wooden bridge, as an adult, the waggon Inn was Fabulous for meals with exceptional staff. The chippy was also great. About 6.9 in I see the white house on left where entrance to waggon Inn was , I noticed the reddish timber pillar at main door which I installed over 20years ago is good as new. The Earl of wemyss was a great guy also his wife and I used to stop for a pint with my brother's dog in the inn and Nigel tranter the author was also there with his lab, made it interesting when both dogs trying to settle in front of log 🔥 without fisticuffs..., However,as wife and I were returning from beach a tad muddy I simply enquired at golf club car park to a "gentleman" If club house was open to non visitors for a coffee, the snooty git looked down on me and exclaimed, certainly not in that attire😂 I replied I don't go out on the mud in my Sunday best . That's always been a problem with Aberlady , and the coast in general,full of golf people that think they own the place.

My mother in law used to live in the black and white corner house at 3 mins 56 secs in.

Missed The River snd the Hill. 😢Many Happy childhood memories flooding back. ❤

❤, thanks for your video. I was there Sept 2024 visiting my sister

Very good George,I love the music,well done Pal.

how are you floating

Stayed in Girvan recently. Best AirBnb ever. Paid the same price for worst AirBnb ever in Oban. Walks near Girvan are spectacular, some of the best. But Girvan itself is sad, needs refurbishment/advertising/Something to draw the tourists in. Lots of potential but the walks/forests/ scenery need to be promoted more because there is nothing to draw people to Girvan itself.

I lived in Loganlea & went to the Ramsay Tech...the beach was just a hundred yards away.

Brilliant George,I always look forward to your videos,keep them going Bud.

Quit being deluded; I was brought up here in Crookedholm and Hurlford from age 3-16; it is a run-down shite hole full of junkies and neds n scum now. When I was a kid my gran worked at the Kay Park trampoline and crazy golf hut, so always got free entry lol, the old baths with the wave machine were a treat, as were The Galleon, The Dean Park and free tours for having a library ticket was good, 20p for a bag of animal feed. Some of my best memories are in this shite hole, but that is the thing, as a kid you are oblivious to the scum bags. ;)

Who in their right mind decided to move the ferry terminal to Cairnryan in the middle of nowhere and took all the business away from Stranraer..

Very nice video - thinking of visiting the Hendricks Gin Palace and wanted to see more of the area. Lovely little town! Thanks for sharing.

I'm doing a fictional novel set at BMC in 1966 that is a murder/mystery. The hero of the book (a Graduate Trainee) does a stint at Bathgate where Harold Musgrove was Plant Director. I've got some stories from Harold of those days, but any others from people who worked there would be great. I'm an ex Austin Apprentice!

you have a very relaxing way of speaking, thought i'd tell you as a lot of people don't know how to narrate these types of vids, it's nice :)

Morning Beautiful video with the perfect soundtrack ❤ We've never visited Portpatrick but it is on our must visit list for a while. Looks lovely Have a great Sunday Morgs Jo and Boo ❤

I've always known we have Scottish ancestors, but it didn't show up in my specific Ancestry DNA results-though my cousin's did. Well, my mother finally took the 23andMe test, and hers confirmed Scotland, with a "very close" genetic link to Fife! I’ve been to Edinburgh before, and I absolutely loved it-it felt like home.

Love the views, stayed for the background soundtrack. The wife's family is from around there(Montgomerys).. Cheers and thanks.. Steve 😎

Great video mate. A nice wee trip down memoery lane for me. Flannigans was my first pub ever, and i loved it there. To be fair, most pubs in Bathgate were good back in the 80s. The auld miners was superb on a Sunday for a sing song and the best characters you could ever meet. Its been 40 years since i was last in my hometown, and its changed so much, why have they destroyed the steel yard 😢

This was the home of my 4th great grandmother , Mary Bathgate. She migrated to America in 1851. Not much there she would recognize. She was born there in 1797.

My

The Waterfall in Armadale. I had my engagement party in it. Its the new Doctors Surgery now.

Hi, may I know whether one to two hours of walking is enough to see all the places in this video?

Very relaxing viewing, Well done 👍

I've been in more attractive War zones.

Actually, Jim Jeffries was brought up in Wallyford, a village 1 mile south of Musselburgh. A village with a host of professional footballers and managers, namely, Jock Wallace (Rangers FC) Jim Jeffries (Heart of Midlothian FC) John McGlynn (various, now Falkirk FC) Pro Footballers; Tam McLeod (Falkirk FC) Jim (Jumbo) Brown (Aston Villa) Tommy Donaldson (Aberdeen FC) plus others.

Reputed to be the cheapest area in the UK to buy a house.

I sometimes used to go on holiday to Girvan when I was a child in the 1960s. I remember going on the little motor boats around the boating pond and I can remember there was also a futuristic structure on the island in the middle. Maybe my memory deceives me, but Girvan is looking very run down compared to what I can remember.

From 3:02 myself and my wife are in this video lol Right side shorts and checkered shirt Stopped to yap

Morning Throughly enjoyed this. Thanks for all the information and history. Hope you're having a good weekend

Ive lived in Arbroath since i was 5, now 55. A once vibrant, busy wee town has.been run down by an incompetent wasteful council and a massive unwanted influx of immigrants.

No. Brought up there, left 47 years ago. Went last week and was horrified at the main street. Only lasted 1 night. Won't be back.

Thank you for this, my family is deeply tied to this area (McDonnalls and Grahams) and it was great to see what the area looks like 💚

i hardly reconise the new builds

Lovely video , and the music what is the music please ❤

Nice historical tour 👍

Great video. Lived on Belville Steet and emigrated to Ohio in 1952 when I was 10.

Very good... I enjoyed watching this

Acá se puede fumar un porro?

Is it the same size as the gibson LP? How about the weight?

I was in Bo'ness recently and was also struck by the number and quality of Art Deco buildings. However, you have missed out a lot by sticking to the town centre. Travel up the hill and some of the houses are stunning.

Nice one George

if you want good sounds. I recommend that you can record an video in the front of your amp. Or buy an otg connecter. because if you use that. Your guitar videos or sounds will sound good.

God awful singing and song.

Living her one bad thing nothing to do with
