Carstairs, a name that resonates with history and adventure. From the bustling streets of London, England to the serene Officers of The Welsh Guards near Pirbright, it has left its mark. The brave officers of the Welsh Guards at The Albuhera Barracks proudly represent the spirit and valor associated with Carstairs. A vintage poster in Hunstanton, Norfolk circa 1925 captures the essence of Carstairs' allure. It beckons us to a world filled with excitement and mystery. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, Bright Young Things gather at a United States Party - their vibrant energy mirroring that which is synonymous with Carstairs. Joe Carstairs takes center stage as she fearlessly commands her racing boat Newg II through treacherous waters. Her determination and skill are unmatched as she leaves onlookers in awe. In 1925, Joe once again captivates attention aboard her motor boat while sailing on open waters - a true embodiment of freedom. Not content with just one vessel, Joe finds solace on her yacht Sonia in 1925. A symbol of luxury and elegance, this magnificent yacht becomes an extension of herself as she sails into uncharted territories. But it doesn't stop there; Jo Carstairs pushes boundaries even further by conquering new heights aboard racing boat Estella IV. Her unwavering spirit propels her forward towards victory time after time. The party continues as we witness What a Whoopee. Bright Young People celebrating at another extravagant United States Party - their joie de vivre echoing throughout every corner. As we delve deeper into history's embrace, we encounter General View engravings capturing the essence in Lanarkshire - forever etching its name onto landscapes far and wide. Carstairs remains an enigma - a force that transcends time and place. Its legacy lives on through tales told by those who dare to dream big and live even bigger.
