Crowded Charabancs and Rob Roy
I found this lovely little brochure in a second hand book
shop recently. Its entitled "The
Rob Roy Country" and was issued by the Bailie Nicol Jarvie Hotel,
Aberfoyle in the beautiful Trossachs.
Guests could on trips to the surrounding countryside -
although I think this vehicle looks a bit overcrowded! Love the driver's outfit! Wonder if the little cart following on behind is bringing the picnic?
There are some fabulous advertisements - look at the price
of this chair from Reynolds, McCulloch & Boyle, house furnishers of Glasgow
- £7! Furniture of personality, eh? Hope its not truculent or has sociopathic tendencies - prefer happy furniture myself!
Rob Roy (1671-1734) was a Scottish Robin outlaw and folk hero whose
exploits were made famous in a novel by Sir Walter Scott. He lived at Inversnaid on Loch Lomond (just in case you were wondering!).
Love, Liz
