Joan, I have just Googled two farms in Ayrshire and got the sattelite images that you can zoom in on. Just make sure you have the names spelt correctly and the name of a town nearby. Sometimes you can see where buildings have been in the past as the shapes are there in the ground.

Joan - You might join Scotster.com, a social network for people interested in things Scottish. Someone living in the area would possibly be happy to shoot them for you. You'll make some new friends in the process!

Joan,

Google Earth is great for this sort of thing - I have just been looking at Greenockdyke.

I have been researching my ancestors of the families Struthers , Craig and Booth. I am interested to find out if anyone at all could maybe assist with photos of some farmhouses that we believe may still be standing today, in Scotland. Ploughland Farm, situated in the southern part of parish Avondale, between Woollen burn and Glengavel Water, area now called High Plewland. Fallside [sometimes referred to as Fauldside], a farm and hamlet about a quarter mile north of Roberton burn, in the parish of Wiston and Roberton in Lanarkshire. This homestead is beleived to have been quite large for that time, having 8 rooms, with windows. The last farm is called Greenockdyke, in the parish of Muirkirk, just off the northern side of Greenock Water. The farmhouse is called Greenockdyke, and bears a plaque or something similar with the name on. I would be so grateful if someone out there could help me with some photos of either the homesteads or even of what that area looks like. I live in South Africa, so do not know if or when I could ever get to Scotland to look for these places myself.

Jan, you should do a search on the name Daphne Church in the Search Social Network box at the top of this screen. That will take you to her page.

Jan,

Possibly the comment was removed as being inappropriate. Although if so, it wasn't removed by me. Can't shed any further light I'm afraid.

Hi I received an email on 9th Oct saying Daphne Yvonne Church had started a discussion but each time I click on it it says page not found and when I get through to this site, the comment isn't here. What has happened?

Appreciate receiving the email again if there was a message for me.

Thanks
Jan Westcott
