This little ode records an encounter with the eponymous Ruby of this piece.

We were on our way to Arran, to “Laggwood Cottage” to visit our son and daughter-in-law.

As we slowly filed off the CalMac Ferry at Brodick we met Ruby.

Unforgettable in her chosen outfit, complemented by her self-assurance.

This young lady will be famous!

Her Mum explained that three-year old Ruby had her very own, very individual fashion sense and could NEVER be persuaded into any clothes that she did not want to wear on any particular day.

I just wish I had a picture to add here.

But perhaps not, it would make this wee ditty redundant!
