Old Photograph Glengarnock Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, houses, shop and people in Glengarnock in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The River Garnock flows through the village, but the name Glen Garnock applies to the ravine at Glengarnock Castle two miles to the north. This Scottish village, 25 miles from Glasgow, was first known as Kilbirnie Ironworks village. The community at that time consisted of a number of migrant workers from Ireland and Lithuania who were brought in to man the iron works and were housed in the " raws ", rows of terraced cottages which have now been demolished.
