Old Photograph Beach Ayr Scotland
Old photograph of people on the beach in Ayr, Scotland. Ayr was established as a Royal Burgh in 1205, serving as Ayrshire's central marketplace and harbour throughout the Medieval Period and remaining a well renowned port across the Early Modern Period. On the southern bank of the River Ayr sits the ramparts of a Citadel constructed by Oliver Cromwell's men during the mid 17th Century. Towards the south of the town is the birthplace of Scottish poet Robert Burns in the suburb of Alloway. Ayr has remained a popular tourist resort since the expansion of the railway in 1840 due to the town's attractive fine beach and its links to golfing and Robert Burns.
