69 Old Irvine Fullarton - by Crawford Fulton
This photo was taken by George McMaster. This view is taken from the steeple of Irvine Old Parish Church: in the foreground are the villas and houses which reached down towards the River Irvine from Kirkgate; the Water Bridge is in the middle of the frame, with the WIlson Fullarton Church and Waterside curving round along the west bank of the River; in front of the Wilson Fullarton are the shops and pubs of Central Fullarton; and the houses and tenements of Friars Croft, New Street and Church Street beyond. At the top of the picture you can see the River Irvine as it doubles back on itself, to join with the estuary of the River Garnock in Scotland's Ancient Atlantic Gateway - Irvine Harbour. The Ardeer Peninsula, home of one of Alfred Nobel's first dynamite factories, lies at the top of the photograph.
