Irvine Valley History
Приєднався 2 жов 2022
History channel for the Irvine Valley, including the towns of Priestland, Darvel, Newmilns & Greenholm and Galston, plus other interesting things in the area. For the time being, I've got access to a reasonable amount of archive material from years gone by, which I'll upload. If there's enough interest, I may start producing new videos, discussing the history of the Valley & showing interesting sights.

Newmilns & Greenholm - Photo Collage - c. 2006 - 2009
This is a collection of photos I took around Newmilns at various points from 2006 to 2009, which includes scenes we've since lost in Newmilns, such as the Dam.
The music for this video is my arrangement of the Rev George Lawrie's song about Newmilns, Hae Ye Mind O Lang, Lang Syne.

Views of Newmilns & Greenholm from May 1992
Переглядів 7142 роки тому
I was initially in two minds about posting this as the film was made by my grandparents to send to friends from Newmilns who had moved abroad many years earlier - however, despite the personal nature of some of the audio track, the film itself is great as it shows Newmilns as it was three decades ago. This video prefaces the three Valley history documentaries that my grandparents made later in ...
Valley Weavers - TV Documentary by Billy Kay
Переглядів 1,1 тис.2 роки тому
This is a documentary about weaving in the Irvine Valley, made by Galston's Billy Kay. This is a good film as it discusses weaving, which was the bedrock of the Valley economy - and features local historian Jim Mair, well known for his "Pictorial History" books. Not 100% sure when this was originally broadcast, but guessing sometime in the 80s or early 90s - if anyone knows then feel free to te...
Mither Tongue - TV Documentary by Billy Kay
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 роки тому
This is a TV documentary about the Scots language, made by Billy Kay. I'm not 100% sure when it was originally broadcast, but I'm guessing probably somewhere between the mid-80s & early 90s. The documentary is interesting in its own right, but its particular relevance to this channel is, aside from Billy Kay being a Gawstin boy, a number of Loudoun Academy pupils & teachers are featured in the ...

New West - Lace & Madras Production, Darvel - 1994
Переглядів 5672 роки тому
This film is one I wanted to upload for posterity, more than others which show a lot of people and old buildings etc. This film starts in 1994 and from what I can recall at the time and see in the video, it looks like the "New West" site, just next to Darvel Junior's pitch at Recreation Park, had been bought over and renovated. This film documents the renovation of the site - ending with film o...

Переглядів 4312 роки тому
This is film of Darvel's "Kirk Karnival", which took place at Hastings Square on Sat 10th June, 1995. The event took place to raise money for a new church hall. This is a nice video to look back on, particularly to spot yourself or people you know from Darvel in the mid-90s. The event was opened by Gwyneth Guthrie, who played "Mrs Mac" in STV's "Take The High Road" - and who lived locally on th...

Film of Newmilns' Civic Week which took place from 28th May to 4th June, 1949. This is a great thing to have film of - it includes things like the parade through the middle of the town, the gala day at Downiesburn Park, a dance at the Morton Hall, school sports & cattle show at the different parks which are no longer in Newmilns. Alongside this, we see a lot of faces from Newmilns in 1949, alon...

Hae Ye Mind O' Lang Lang Syne is a collection of music & poems about the Irvine Valley, recorded during the late 90s. It's great to be able to preserve local music and poems, but the video is also great as it contains extensive footage taken across the Valley during the late 90s. This film was originally produced by Bobby Young, with all music being peformed & sung by Gordon Cree, with the exce...
