Many thanks for that Dreamer - great to see the underground tanks at Montfode from the air. And that caravan park is massive. I can remember when there were only a few caravans there and the smell from the nearby burning rubbish at the coup hung over the place.

Hi Ardrossan,

Welcome to threetowners. Don't be a stranger, come back and let's be hearing from you.

Went to one of those gold class picture theatres today to see the latest "Mission Impossible" Thought the movie was excellent - great special effects. We shared a three course meal and wine while we watched the movie. Everyone else seemed more interested in the "Da Vinci Code" wh...

I think all Ardrossan people would find this topic on curling interesting. It's taken from our archives when we were a mailing list back in 1999:

Hi Harry,

Can't say I do remember the cattle getting driven up Glasgow Street. But I do remember all those container vehicles coming up the Street at regular intervals past our Eglinton School..

My memories are from the mid-fifties. And joantoyboy has got the geography right. You'd walk up and down that track between 7pm and just after 9pm socialising with the opposite sex. My pals and I used to have a wee break and visit my sister for a cuppa just diagonally across from Duncan's in Quay St...
