Thank you for having a look at my page "Exploring Scotland". I created this channel to share some of the places in Scotland as I pass along the way.
Please do follow me whether it is a walk in the hills or a low-level walk on some beautiful beaches or a walk through a village or town with its own peculiar history and architecture. I maybe try out new equipment too. Many of my tours in the van will include admiring the scenery with a few photos and videos. Sometimes I do a walk around a castle or cathedral or on tour with all of the above done with a bit of location history thrown in.
My outdoor background includes hillwalking with (to date) 240 Munros, some climbed many times, climbed many more hills and fished many a lochs and have been through many a glen or over, more than I can remember. And that is why I now I take videos and photos on the way.
Thank you again and I hope you will follow and enjoy these days out on the journeys of Mike McCallum".
Yes indeed I could be....but I'm not. Just a local nearby resident, giving an honest comment. Really you need to rebrand, and refit...The Racer cafe, makes no sense, cheap and tacky!!!.....and stop ripping customers off!!...
Thank you. I used yo deliver milk into the Govan fire station at Orkney place 1968-69, so I might have known your dad but wouldn't remember after so long.
Agreed, but that can be said if almost any place that has big shopping centres and their main industries shut down forcing people to move away from what was a tightly-knit community. Just look at Paisley, or Partick, Neilston and Barrhead.
Hi. Thank you. Do glad you liked the video and brought back memories for you. I'm sure Girvan is due another visit so I will try to do another video fir you and your sister. 👍
Worked up in Renfrew in '67 at Scottish Cables Ltd. I was 17/18 and loved it. Went back to Liverpool for a year before heading out to Australia with a few quid in my pocket and the clothes on my back.

@@mikemccallumoutdoors5699 turrn on to Broadloan from the paisley rd end left at traffic lights and left again its in the middle of some new builds but quirky buildiing abit of sacred geometry going on there :)
Thanks Mike, I have passed by this church many times over the years whilst driving, and always winder about the interior. Now I know and it is wonderful.
Maybe you should have went further down the scheme to Whiteford etc and see how much the council have neglected the prefabs and how much money owners are having to put out to maintain. Poor poor input from Renfrewshire Council to help home owners upgrade the standard.
I took a helicopter trip over Glasgow and Loch Lomond it was amazing but I want to do the sea plane to Oban, I’ve got a cheek I can’t even get out the chair lol 😂
A fantastic and incredibly interesting place that has an amazing history.A beautiful documentary and a big plus for the absolutely magical music...🎼🎵🎶 This place is certainly of those unique in the world... Great respect 🕊️🤝
Thanks for sharing, I also have a T5 transporter. I haven't started conversations yet as most of what I've seen seems to be very heavy and over built. I am very impressed with your simple build. And that it can all be removed quickly to allow a load to be carried. Well done .
Hi Mike, the photos of the Glen Bar Domino team, where you in them? I had the same photo in my families photo album. The 2 pics of the Glen Bar (Before it was Richards) was taken in the early 70's.
Hi. Thanks for liking video. No I am not in any of the pub photos. I would have been a year or more too young to even get into a pub. It would be good to know names or even date of photo.
Fell to bits Govan and Govanhill it’s a right dump now bin bags on every corner manky place house prices right down the Swanee Romma rule haha Allegedly
@@mikemccallumoutdoors5699 eh the photo of the Govan ambulance waggon. I think they're sitting in Orkney St ( 2nd home to most rapscallions fae Govan ) yes I know that a man who drives a wagon is a waggoner, my wee day was a Carter, but I've never seen waggon spelled like that
