Templetons
There are several lines of Templetons in Ayrshire. I am connected to a farming line which has no connection with carpet manufacture. 
Richard- which Parish do your Templetons come from?
My Granny had one of these stereoscopes and a few black and white pictures  which I looked at in the late 40s or early 50s. Unfortunately it was probably thrown out after her death.

I think the Templetons’s had a carpet factory in Ayr or Ayrshire

Good luck with your research Richard
You should find my book on Amazon if you would like a copy - I like selling directly but can not compete with them on shipping costs, so they work out cheaper for you!

Peter,
Hello from Annapolis Maryland. I have a fine100 year old stereoscope but only a couple of images of WWI.
I collect cameras, mostly Kodak. My connection to Ayrshire is that my family name, Templeton, originates there. 
I have Kirk records of my Templetons from the mid 1600's albeit the name is 13th century Ayrshire. 
I have read several Ayrshire social histories and modern books and I have a small collection of older Ayr and Ayrshire books.
I just spent 5 days in Ayr this recent September and plan to make it a month-long visit in the future.
If anyone has any Templeton ancestry, I would love to hear from you. 
Sounds like you have a nice collection. I will try to get your book.
All the best,
Richard Templeton
PS: Forward this to anyone you like.

I am a collector of old photographs specialising in stereoscopy (3D) images, which were the best -selling format of photograph around 1860. I have written a book called "Scotland in 3D - A Victorian Virtual Reality Tour" ISBN 9781527225527 which provides much detail on the topic , also see www.scotlan3d.com.
I am interested in stereoviews of Ayrshire, as I am originally from West Kilbride. In particular, there are 2 series of views dating to late 1850s, early 1860s which are excellent, but unfortunately I have not been able to identify the photographer. If anyone knows anything about them could you please get in touch.
The first series is entitled "Views of the Land of Burns". It includes some remarkable images like the one outside Burns Cottage attached. A typical label is attached (from a view of Culzean) attached as well.
The second series is called "Views in Ayrshire" - there is a similar series probably by the same photographer entitled "Views in Dumfriesshire".  Typical label attached.
I hope that someone has some insights into these series.
All the best
Peter Blair

Hi the Templeton carpet factory was in Glasgow l near the peoples palace.
It still stands today but no longer a carpet factory.
Think it's mainly offices in there now.

Sheena- 
Thanks for connecting. My William T, a merchant in Mauchline, was uniquely married in the Dumfries House in 1797. I met with the head of tours when I visited. There were other related Templetons in Cumnock, Auchinleck and Irvine. We’ll keep sleuthing! Thanks for anything you turn up.
The best,
Richard
