🏌️ More Than Words – Episode 16: Clyde and Joy 🏌️
From collapsing car plants to Elvis at Prestwick, because Ayrshire’s tourism strategy is apparently “industrial ruin, golf courses, and a suspicious amount of brandy.”
Featuring:
🚗 Linwood’s Imp: Hillman no more
🏭 Johnstone’s supermarket museum: hummus with history
🪑 Beith’s furniture empire: from mahogany to missile silos
🥃 Barkip: illicit drinking, fiddles, and the constable keeping time with his boot
🏹 Kilwinning archers: 540 years of shooting wooden birds off clock towers
🤴 Eglinton jousting tournament: the Fyre Festival of medieval chivalry
🏌️ Royal Troon’s Postage Stamp hole: small, vicious, and capable of humiliating Tiger Woods in under 60 seconds
🎸 Prestwick Airport: Elvis touched down for 20 minutes, and Ayrshire built a shrine anyway
It’s collapsing car plants, medieval jousts in the rain, golf courses that bite, and Elvis merch stands. Equal parts scenic, surreal, and suspiciously soggy.
