Old South Ayrshire Villages
Girvan was not the only attraction in South Ayrshire for holidaymakers during the early 1900s, many villages of this still remote region also received a large share of visitors. Indeed, one photograph in this collection of fifty-two shows an early motor car that had come all the way from Dundee - a long way in those days! The villages included in this collection are Ballantrae, Barr, Barrhill, Colmonell, Crosshill, Dalrymple, Dunure, Kirkmichael, Kirkoswald, Lendalfoot, Maidens, Minishant, Pinmore, Pinwherry, Straiton and Turnberry. The views are accompanied by an extensive history which not only provides the background story of each community, but also gives us a taste of life as it was a century ago when people still relied on their potato crops, fishing and weaving for a living, when the highlight of the day was the arrival of the stagecoaches or later, the charabancs of the Coaching Tour from Girvan, and when Daljarrock still had a post office.
Old Newmilns
Here is a lovely collection of 51 photographs of the town that was once one of the lace capitals of the world. The evocative images are accompanied by a detailed and fascinating narrative by local historian and resident Hugh Maxwell.
