NEW- Updated Photographs/Postcards of Ayrshire

Hi Folks,

The latest images have been uploaded and are now available for viewing, there are separate pages for East, North & South Ayrshire, one for the Valentine Series of postcards which covers various parts of Ayrshire, one for personal pictures of mine and a page linking to other
sites that I have found that have images of Ayrshire in them. If you come across other similar web sites or have pictures you would like added yourself then please let me know.

My thanks go to the University of St. Andrews in Fife for permission to use the Valentine Series of postcards, the local historians in Ayrshire, and to Alex McLaren, Gordon Robertson and Bill Love and to anyone else that I have forgotten to mention.

They are on the Ayrshire Page at
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ayrshire/

Most of the images are from the turn of the century although some are older than that. For those that viewed the first ones, all the new ones are in Table 2 on the relevant page. The new towns/villages covered are;
