Old Photograph Crosshouse Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, people and Post Office in Crosshouse located two miles West of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. A tributary of River Irvine, the Carmel Water, flows through the centre of the village. The River Irvine and its tributaries have many leisure uses. Fishing is a very popular pursuit and many angling clubs maintain the river and its banks, monitor fish stocks, report on pollution and carry out conservation measures. It was recorded as early as 1604, that salmon were plentiful in the River Irvine. The river contains, amongst others, brown trout, sea trout, salmon, eels, minnows, and sticklebacks.
