Old travel Blog photograph of the Waterworks in Skelmorlie, Ayrshire, Scotland. On Saturday 18 April 1925, an embankment on the Waterworks reservoir which belonged to the Eglinton Estate and provided the main water supply for the whole village gave way, releasing millions of gallons of water down through the village. After 10 minutes many homes, streets and gardens were shattered and five people, four of them children, lay dead.
