Strone Primary Near Dunoon
A Memory of Strone.
I have fond memories of living in Strone from 1969 to 1970, we lived in part of Dunselma castle, when John Risk, head of the CBI Scotland, owned it. One memory I have is rushing down to the shore to view the QE2 coming out for her sea trails, sitting at the mouth of the Holy Loch.
It was the first time I tasted 7-Up, at one of the many bbq's the yanks held (the yanks had a naval base in the Holy Loch, the ship was the Simon lake), with their big steaks, massive cars, happy days.
And I have to thank the head teacher at Strone primary, Mr. Featherstone, I think I got his name right, in teaching me to catch up to P7 Scottish curriculum, as moving up from England is a different curriculum. (we moved from England from Glasgow in about 1963)
