Hi,
      There is no title of Marquis of Rothesay, THe correct title is Marquiss of Bute,
      which is held by the Stuart family of BUte.
      HRH  Prince Charles holds the premier Scottish title which is Duke of Rothesay
      hope this helps

                             regards Jimreta

Hi MacKiwi,
                   As you say, Meadowcap was in the general area of Townhead. When I talked about the new cemetary at High Street I may have used the wrong terminology, the old cemetary was extended as it became filled up, and the term " new cemetary " was used buy locals to diffrenciate between the two, there was a further extension but this too is now filled and the latest cemetary is now at the top of Barone Road, some 2 miles by road from Rothesay High Street Cemetary, hope this helps, regards jimreta

The name " Meadowcap " goes back as far as the 1870,s.
but was never to my knowledge, known as " The Meadows ", this area is a large green space, bordered by Loch Fad, Barone Road, and Rothesay old Cemetery. The local Shinty club play their matches there and there are also Tennis Courts and Childrens Swings.
Meadowcap lies at the top of the High Street, beyond the new section of Rothesay Cemetery, and in days gone by, had a number of houses situated in the area. If you go to the Bute Sons and Daughters Site, you will find a number of researchers who have interest in Meadowcap. :)  Jimreta
