Old Photograph Coylton Scotland

Old photograph of cottage and houses in Coylton village in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Coylton was the home to one of Ayrshire's celebrated artists. Robert Bryden, born 1865, died 1939, who was born in the village. After a period working in Ayr, he became a modeller of bronze busts which are highly regarded. Among his works are bronze portraits of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce in Ayr Town Hall. He also specialized in carved wooded figures, a collection of which are to be found at Rozelle. Bryden was also responsible for the Coylton War Memorial.
