My 3rd Great Grandparents lived at 23 Seagate, Irvine in the late 1800s. Their surname was Burns.
I was resident there from birth 1945 until adoption 18 months later. The matron was Miss Logan.
I was Head Girl at Irvine Royal for the last two years of my education. I was a Kilwinning girl and attended from 1969-1972. Living through the 3 day week and walking daily from Kilwinning to Irvine wasn't much fun! But I loved school there so nothing was a problem.My favourite teachers were Willie Stewart and Willie MCIllvaney. Inspirational men!I graduated from Strathclyde with a BSC in Maths and have enjoyed a very successful career in many different careers.
I work in the Moor nursery in Irvine for a year I can never find any pictures or information on it . Would be good to see any pictures I think it was around 19 69 Jacquelyn Mclatchie nee Biggar
