Rennie's Campsite - Ballikinrain
Image: © Raymond Okonski Taken: 18 Feb 2007
Now just a rutted track, within the grounds of Ballikinrain Castle School, between 1950-1974 this land was used as a tourist caravan and camping site, complete with site shop and outside swimming pool. Evidence of the pool - which was fed by Campsie spring water - can still be seen, however scrub has reclaimed the land and after 50-odd years, nobody will remember what was once there.
