New Flats at Ayr Seafront
A strong south-westerly wind was tearing away at the building materials on this block of flats in early January 2015. Residents certainly will need to have really good double-glazing and a well-fixed roof - but what a view they'll have over the Firth of Clyde. To see the finished building, look at Image

Site of Churchill Barracks
Ayrshire’s regular infantry regiment, the Royal Scots Fusiliers, was based at Ayr Barracks in 1873. The site, dating back to 1794, was on the south side of Ayr harbour, bounded by Seabank Road. In 1942, the facility was renamed the Churchill Barracks in honour of the wartime Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. After amalgamation in 1959 with the Highland Light Infantry, the new Royal Highland Fusiliers moved to an Edinburgh base. The Churchill Barracks were demolished in the early 1960s.

Other redundant buildings were demolished at the same time to promote economic development of the site though this did not happen until the 1990s. I can recall Codona’s Fun Fair being there every summer in the 1970s and 1980s. The site now houses the Citadel Leisure Centre and several blocks of flats.
