Countless numbers of folks also remember it from a simpler time as a day trip destination, popular up to the late '50's, as city dwellers (Glasgow) would go 'Doon the Water'(Scots accent compulsory)."

"During a recent trip, Prince Charles, who holds the hereditary title 'Baron Rothesay', visited the premises as part of his official itinerary."
