Smugglers Inn Troon

A Memory of Troon.

Hi, I remember the Smugglers Inn on Portland Street when it was owned by Harry Scoffin, what a character, he had a large handlebar moustache like Jimmy Edwards. For those who can remember him, he came from Plockton, he had a tape of 'God Save the Queen' which he used to stick on and all the longhairs including me had to stand to attention or he said you were out the the door. Nobody tested him, he was a big bloke, but good natured all the same. The pub looked like a museum with guns and swords on the walls, they dont have atmospheres like that any more, all these restrictions nowadays. Happy memories.
Bye for now,
Colin
