Old Photograph Fullarton Place Irvine Scotland
Old photograph of a pub, buildings, and people on Fullarton Place Street in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. Irvine was the site of Scotland's 12th century Military Capital and former headquarters of the Lord High Constable of Scotland, Hugh de Morville. It also served as the Capital of Cunninghame and was, at the time of King David I, Robert II and Robert III one of the earliest capitals of Scotland. The town was once a haunt of Robert Burns, after whom two streets in the town are named: Burns Street and Burns Crescent. He is known to have worked in a flax mill on the Glasgow Vennel. There are also conflicting rumours that Mary, Queen of Scots stayed briefly at nearby Seagate Castle.
