Old travel Blog photograph of children by the salt water bathing pool in Saltcoats, a small town on the west coast of North Ayrshire, Scotland. In the late 1880s, a bathing pool was built on the site of the former saltpans. This was in a rocky cove, which is at one end of what is now Winton Circus. This bathing pool had changing facilities and some seated accommodation for spectators although seating was often just the surrounding rocks in the bay. This proved to be a very popular venue. This pool was replaced in the 1930s. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
