The railway to Silloth lasted until 1964 until it was closed. The docks at Silloth still do quite well.

In the early 1960s as a child I used to stand on the top of these falls. And gather raspberries in the field at the top. My parents had a caravan parked on the Allans? Farm just across the road before we moved to Beith. I went to Glengarnock primary school. It is one of my best memories, exploring all round there.

Roger, you missed out Troon!!

Do one tickets gives you rides on both parts of the Cambrian Railway.

Very interesting. Thanks for making this. I live in Ayrshire, but grew up around Stonehaven, Drumlithie and Glenbervie. Never knew this connection.

I love that all the comments are basically part of this clan. I am a Patrick as well. This is great

People today don't realise just how many years of history there is in Ayrshire

The exquisite Avenue of Beech trees behind was felled for insurance reasons some 25 years ago….perhaps by order from the ‘King’ or Prince as he was as he now owns Buccleugh estate and has a rather uncomfortable fairground for the proletariat to faff around in rather than visit the actual house… The avenue led to the main farm house of the Boswells which is still lived in and run as a farm

I did read that the Brunel's Broad Gauge track was Seven Feet - with "a rolling stock tolerance" of one quarter of an inch"? Any comments on this would be more than welcome.

I visited a few years ago. I have been finding a bit more about the church and I believe the sunken stones at 2:05 are the MacGregor stones. They were originally inside the original medieval church but were tossed outside when the church was rebuilt by Black Duncan Campbell in 1615. There is a project which I believe is still ongoing to restore them to the original position where the medieval church. Many of the Campbells are also buried in the churchyard.

I was in the list d school cardross about 88 f ing love that village. Quiet and used to play ⚽ at the water brilliant 😀😀

Very nice Roger enjoyed that Brydekirk home to family and a lovely spot . Keep them coming 👍👍

Great video sir.

The bogton airfield area became known as the 'promised land' by local farmers. The nickname was a reference to the somewhat arogent military officials who seemed desperate to build an airfield on such unsuitable land and also reffered to the farmers having to wait to have the land inevitably given back after the project. The land is now used as a regular field and similar to the loch the foundations and marking remain in the field. Additionally the land is now very occasionally used by farmers for sheep dog trails and other events - the foundations remaining make the field easy to access and park in compared with much of the local boggy land. I was told this information by the late William 'Willie' Cook, former president of the Scottish Sheepdog Association. He was a great friend to many in the local area. A dedicated farmer, one of my fondest memories of him was sitting in that field at a sheepdog trial listening to the countless stories he had about farming and the local area Thanks Roger

I know the area well. I grew up in nearby Milton, a 1950s housing scheme not a far walk from there, one side of the station is Gilschochill area of Maryhill, the 1950s tenements at the other side of the station is Cadder, pronounced as Cawder. It is quite a lightly used line as everything I'm on that line, very few people are on the 158s and 156s and the odd 170s that ply the route.

Bruntwood Loch to the East of Little Sorn seems to be appearing again. I can see it from the higher hills when running.

The war memorial in Mossblown has just been moved a few weeks ago. It used to sit ip a steep hill between 2 houses on Annbank road but now moved to the 4 ways. A lot easier for people to visit.

Great to see all these in one video, another interesting video!

Very nice Roger enjoyed that we have been to quite a few of those and now have a few more to visit 👍👍

Clan johnstone here!

Colorado Springs. STEPHEN BYRON LOWDEN… GO NAVY!!!…7 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ My father visited the Castle YEARS ago, before they put up the FENCE!!! There are pictures of the interior of the Castle, DUNGEON STAIRS and others that people are now not allowed to VIEW!!! What happened with the proposed development of the PROPERTY???

I always remember my dad telling me about the mine and the railway, he is now at peace in the cemetery in Sannox.

Nice to see James Harkness's gravestone intact, sadly it now lies broken.

Hey there Roger just come across your channel, some cool videos thanks , your house in the rock video popped up on my suggestions, I've done a few videos from inside and behind caves and chaple. You may find interesting . Thanks 👋

Why were all the buildings demolished?!

A bit far for us ,but very interesting thanks Roger 👍👍

Thank you for working on and sharing this.

Glasgow harbor tunel had enterance depot with twelve Otis elevators, having a car travel of eighty feet. Platforms are ten feet wide by twenty-eight feet long, giving a lifting capacity for wagon and team of horses at a car speed of 250 feet per minute. The elevators are operated under high pressure hydraulic system, using steam pumps and accumulators. The hydraulic pressure being 800 pounds.

Fantastic, adore it, thank you!

Is it unused now

Frances Wallace Dunlop was my 9th great grandmother . Found out do to DNA joining my family tree. … really sad to hear it is now to be converted into flats but thank you for much for sharing this

Thank You So Much! I've seen pictures only, and have hardly read any stories. To imagine what it used to be like! Wish I could come across the pond one day to see where my family came from. T Cunningham, Kentucky USA

Very interesting. Marvolous masonary.

Oooh yes we have been here Roger very interesting thanks lots of things we didnt notice 👍👍

Would be nice to see that running again i bet our girls would love it . Thanks Roger 👍👍👍

Do you know anything about the narrow gauge railway that ran next to the old 'pilot house' at Irvine Harbour?

One of my most beautiful favourite places to visit 🙏🙏🙏

Nice to see this video. The carved gravestone though isn't a staff and bishop's mitre, it's the back of the green man 'memento mori' feature on the opposite side of that wall (filled doorway). Did you notice that when you were there? The top is the winged skull and the 'bell shape' is the scrolls, and green man holding apples below.)

your voice is so cathartic, enjoying relaxing to your history videos :)

Is the last image in Dalry, across from the Lidl store? 🤔

We have something different this year. Rowans and cherry all round the place are red on one side and still green on the other. Perfect half and half. I imagine it due to the unusual summer 24. Lochmaben.

Always wondered this! I read a whole book on trees and it mentioned the light-cue but not how they actually lose the leaves. Thank you, very interesting (and wondrous!)

ah the 3 minute video that teaches you more than anyone eva

Roger. Phenomenal voice and dialogue. You just need a producer.

0:16 Now that's a nice looking water tank. 👍

This is great to see. My 2nd great grandfather Francis Roy 1808 - 1853 may have been the gardener for Craigends House, he and his family lived in Houston Renfrewshire.

Largest? Nah Longest? Yes Largest? Nomura-

Another nice insight,as usual. thanks Roger.

Always learning something new thanks Roger 👍👍👍

I always thought it was tender hooks, so now I know. 👍
