Old Photographs Kilbirnie Scotland

Old photograph of Kilbirnie in North Ayrshire, Scotland. This small Scottish town is 20 miles south-west of Glasgow and approximately 10 miles from Paisley and Irvine respectively. Historically, the town built up around the flax and weaving industries before iron and steel making took over in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The suburb of Kilbirnie in the New Zealand capital of Wellington is named after the town.
