A Sort of Evacuee...

My family have been on Bute for many hundreds of years but I was born in South Wales...Dad was a master Mariner and died in 1935. I have written a description of boyhood on Bute through the War and this is in the Bute Sons and Daughters Genealogical site. We lived at Ardbeg point all through the war and saw the Subs, Midget Subs, Frogmen, Commandos and landing craft together with the damaged ships being brought in with survivors and boats still burning in some cases... It was an exciting time to be a boy on Bute!
Of course, I remember the Trams, miniature Railway at Ettrick Bay etc. There don't seem to be many of us left!
