Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Girvan, in Carrick, South Ayrshire, was originally a fishing port and in 1668, it became a municipal burgh incorporated by charter. The opening of the railways, initially with the Maybole and Girvan Railway at the end of the 1850s, encouraged the development of Girvan as a seaside resort. Beneath rolling hills to the East of the town Girvan’s long beach provides great views towards the islands of Ailsa Craig and Arran as well as, on a clear day, The Mull of Kintyre and Northern Ireland. Girvan Old Street Churchyard Burial Ground is adjacent to the A77, north of the town centre. The graveyard surrounds the site of the former parish church mentioned in 1296 and dedicated to St Cuthbert.
The Scotch Mist Gallery contains photographs of historic buildings, monuments, memorials and people.
