He loves the gossip!
CULZEAN Castle seems to have been rebranded the ‘ Eisenhower Hotel’ in honour of the US president who stayed there. The nosey middle class types who typically mooch through the National Trust property are being turned away and told work is ongoing but it will reopen later.
A sign outside reads the ‘ Eisenhower Hotel.’ Meanwhile the Trust website is touting the landmark as a “small country house hotel, located on the upper floors of Culzean Castle.” Confusing – muchly.
TO charge or not to charge - that is question. Those of us who stay informed by reading our local newspaper are aware that South Ayrshire Council are supposed to be making us pay for the privilege of relieving ourselves in public toilets. Not so in Maidens at the weekend – seems to be a free for all. Long may it continue.

AN associate of Mrs Woods was shocked to be overtaken in the village of Coylton as she drove steadfastly at the exact speed limit of 30mph.
She got in a right fluster as she heard the revving of a motor bike zooming past.
But her panic turned to disbelief when she clocked the offender was astride a mere L plate scooter. Why she was sure it was an Evel Knievel type daredevil. And she sulkily huffed: “I thought those things could only do 20mph.”
IT seems Sunday and the hot weather provoked a mad rush on fish suppers.
I take you to Dino’s, a favourite frying establishment on Maybole Road.
Monday night, 9pm, not a single fish left. Except jumbo cod at a suitably jumbo price. My mad elected for a haggis supper. And tasty it was too!

The Caravan Club hold the lease from the council, who are being a “bit sticky” over new terms. Anything to do with more parking for the Uni? Toodle- pip!
