Old Girvan

Throughout the first half of the twentieth century Girvan was famed as a popular summer resort for the working people of Glasgow. That heyday is recalled in the fifty-two photographs of this book, as well as the town’s one-time fishing industry. The town’s history is also told in the extensive text.
