      Scotland. The Rollers hailed from Scotland--Edinburgh, to be exact, except for short-time member, Ian Mitchell, who was from Ireland.

    It's well known how the Rollers got their name. They stuck a pin in a map of America and named themselves after the city in which the pin stuck. Where is the 'Bay City' they chose located?Bay City Rollers (1975-78) - My R&R Love Letter

      Michigan. Being a native Texan, I'd like to say they stuck the pin in Bay City, Texas. But, alas, it was Bay City, Michigan that they named themselves after.

    The Rollers had a very distinctive look, a sort of 'fashion statement'. What did they wear that set them apart?Bay City Rollers (1975-78) - My R&R Love Letter

      clothing trimmed with tartan. Any true Roller fan knows that proper Roller attire was clothing trimmed with tartan--never plaid! They favored jackets, shirts and knicker-type pants trimmed with tartan, scarves and athletic shoes.

    Who was Tam Paton?Bay City Rollers (1975-78) - My R&R Love Letter

      The group's manager. Tam Paton, who was a former musician, was the group's manager. All things considered, it had to be a tough job!

      Money Honey. Taken from the LP, "Rock and Roll Love Letter" (the U.S. version), "Money Honey" was a Top 10 hit.
