New lavvies opened at Tobermory!
Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 9:50 pm
The Princess Royal today officially opened the new lavvy and shower block by the pontoons at Tobermory. She told a enthralled crowd of at least 60 people that she was delighted to be in Tobermory for such an auspicious occasion, although she was disappointed that Lord Claymore was unable to be in attendance owing to issues with his calorifier.
The event also celebrated 25 years of the Tobermory Harbour Association's selfless devotion to the comforts of visiting yachtspersons. Built at a cost of £2.8bn (including consultancy fees), it is expected that the new lavvies will attract sailors from all parts of the Sound of Mull, and possibly even as far away as Oban. A wee man in a red jacket and wearing a beard said "With modern sailing yachts, Dunstaffnage is only four hours' drive away at full throttle. This'll bring loads of money into the town, and fill ma wee leather pouch full o' siller."
