Old Photographs Dreghorn Scotland

Old photograph of Dreghorn village near Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. This parish comprehends the old parishes of Dreghorn and Pearston, which were united in 1668. The whole of the parish was historically the property of the De Morvilles, who were Constables of Scotland and Lords of Cunninghame. John Boyd Dunlop was born at a Dreghorn farm on 5 February 1840. He qualified as a veterinary surgeon at the Dick Vet in Edinburgh and set up practice in Belfast, where he invented a pneumatic tyres for bicycles in October 1887. The principle had been patented by Robert William Thomson in 1847, but it was Dunlop's invention that made a success of the idea. The Church of Scotland parish church dates from from 1780, and has an unusual octagonal plan. At one time, the church was known locally as the Threepenny after the 12 sided Threepence coin. Dreghorn's historical main industries were farming and coal mining. All of the coal mines around Dreghorn were closed by the early 1980s. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Tour Scotland self catering holiday cottage recommendations in Drumbeg by Lochinver, Sutherland, Scotland.


Tigh a Garadh Beag is a beautifully maintained bungalow originally built as a retreat for an artist and his family. It is thoughtfully designed and tastefully decorated with his and other artists' work. The large picture window in the lounge has an inspiring outlook to the sea and coastal hillside. There is a pretty garden where visitors can sit out and enjoy the peaceful scenic surroundings. The house is situated on the edge of the village, offering seclusion, but the shop, restaurants, tea room and hotel bar are less than 5 minutes walk away. The restful tranquillity of the west coast is exemplified in the remote Highland village of Drumbeg.
