Old travel Blog photograph of Kelly Sawmill by Kelly Burn near Wemyss Bay in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The name Wemyss is derived from the Scottish Gaelic uaimh which means cave. It is believed to be taken from the caves of the Firth of Forth where the Clan Wemyss made their home. The chiefs are one of the few noble families who are descended from the Celtic nobility through the Clan MacDuff Earls of Fife. The name Wemyss Bay may be associated with Bob Wemyss, who was the owner of a hut on the shore in the 19th century.
