Auld Hoose

Does anyone remember the Auld Hoose at the Back o the Isle in Ayr. It was behind the Clydesdale Bank in the High Street in the Fifties. My granny used to take me in there for her wee snifter of gin on a Saturday. I think there used to be a bit of a garden beside it where a Christmas tree was put up. There was a Snug in the Auld Hoose where I was allowed to go as I was so wee.
