West Kilbride circa 1916
This postcard from West Kilbride was sent to France and is postmarked August 1916. It shows the view from Law Hill - Roy McMillan of Law Hill farm was in my year - and Meg's - at Ardrossan Academy.

If I remember correctly George, didnt Roy's grandad slept in a caravan at the back of the farm so he could be near the animals. Didn't we spend a new years eve up there first footing Roy's family.

He did and we did, it was a good night if I recall.

Re: West Kilbride circa 1916
love the postcard. I used to work along with my school chum Roger Battini at Low Drummilling Farm in the middle of the town. We were supposed to be at school but we worked unofficially for Ninian and Neil Jack and the local farmers used to share implements and I remember taking stuff up in a VW van up to Robbie McMillan's farm right at the top of the hill up a stony bumpy track. Are there 2 Law farms, one called Law and the other Law Hill farm. The one in the picture looks too near the town to be McMillan's. In my time there used to be a tractor boy called Jock who frequented the Pisani's Central cafe who worked at the lower farm.

Re: West Kilbride circa 1916
just checked the maps ... Law Farm is closer to the town and further up the same track is Lawhill Farm
