Old Photograph Butlin's Holiday Camp Ayr Scotland

Old photograph of Butlin's Holiday Camp near Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland. When originally opened in 1946, it was named Butlin's Ayr. During the Second World War the Admiralty, who had already taken over his camp at Filey, asked Billy Butlin to construct two new camps; one in North Wales and the other in Scotland. Butlin found 85 acres on the coast of the Heads of Ayr. In 1946 after the war had ended, Butlin took back ownership of the camp from the Admiralty and Butlins Ayr was opened to the public after some reconstruction work.
