Was looking at the weekly pictures on the BBC Scotland website, and someone has sent in a nice photograph of Calgary Bay on the Isle of Mull (it's about the 3rd or 4th one in. The one of the crofts on Lewis is also excellent.)

Calgary on Mull is of course the place that our Calgary in Alberta was named after.

So gutted I thought this was a thread about the department store on Stephens Ave

I never knew this until a couple of months ago. I'd obviously picked up on loads of the other Scottish references - but not Calgary. D'oh!

Nice piccie, by the way. Now why would someone, who presumably knew the original Calgary Bay, pick that name for a land-locked near-desert-like prairie province I wonder?

Thanks Butch but it is not my avenue it's just Stephen Avenue.

Perhaps when they arrived the prairie grasses in the area reminded the person of the ocean.
