On Scotland's west coast adjacent to the
lovely Isle of Arran
on the Firth of Clyde lies the North Ayrshire towns of Ardrossan, Saltcoats and Stevenston - locally known as the
'three towns'. Threetowners started as a mailing list in 1999 for those with
local interest be they expatriates, locals, family researchers,
historians or whatever.

Swimming Pool: I remember
swimming in what was said to be the old Saltcoats swimming pool. Never
thought much about it at the time but seeing this aerial view makes me think
that perhaps it really was an old swimming pool.

Space: I just had another look at the satellite photo's of the three
towns area and at the Dynamite Factory at Ardeer in Stevenston in
particular. You can see there is what appears to be a portrait of Rabbie
Burns on that large sloping seawall.
