Kilmarnock View.
The Cross Kilmarnock, date unknown. The statue is of Sir James Shaw a Kilmarnock born and educated man who became a popular Lord Mayor of London, this statue now stands opposite the Dick institute in London Road. On the left is Rankin &Borland dispensing chemists. And on the ground floor of the corner building on the right, many will remember the pet shop.

Kilmarnock.
A view of King Street Kilmarnock before the planners got to work. The house on the left was on the corner of Fowlds Street and was home to a doctors surgery during the 1940s and 50s. The practice then moved to new premises, and still serves the population of the town. King Street Church was denolished and replaced with shops.

Portpatrick.
Portpatrick Harbour as this old postcard image shows is mainly a haven for pleasure craft. Although it was once the main port for travel to Ireland, and was also busy with other types of commercial craft. It was also a military port in WW2. It is now a quiet resort, popular with walkers, as the Soutern Upland Way from west to east starts here.

Port Logan
Port Logan pier and lighthouse at the Southern end of Port Logan (or as termed in some charts,)Port Nessock Bay. Was built during the period 1812 / 1822, the works being supervised by John Young. Design proposals had been made by the famous engineer John Rennie around 1813 and were followed during the construction the results of which are the structures seen today. Port Logan is now a popular but quiet spot with tourists, and also sea anglers who find it easy to launch their boats over the firm sand.

Model Boat Club.
This is an image I picked up around twelve years ago while foraging for old books and postcards in the South West of England. It depicts members of the "Port of Plymouth Model Boat Club" it holds a special attraction for me, as the building had then been converted to a "Pub"where you could buy a pitcher of lager and sit at an outside table looking out on Plymouth Sound and Drakes Island.
