Dreghorn - Early history

[Marcus Hazel-McGown]

Hi everyone, 

I live near Dreghorn (Broomlands, behind the village) and am interested in finding as much history about the area as physically possible. I know that it is possibly one of the oldest continually inhabited places historically.  but other than that and post 1750 information I am finding anything else difficult to find. Can anyone recommend any good starting points?

Hi Marcus - 

Have you tried to make contact with Dane Love or perhaps Roger Griffith?  Roger writes for Wikepedia and produces videos on areas he has researched.  

I have a pretty thick old book on Kilmaurs at home... I am presently at an appointment and will return later this afternoon.

Regards,

Debbie Rea

Hi Marcus

If you google Dreghorn archaeology you'll find info on a neolithic village site. I'm sure North Ayrshire libraries will have lots of history books etc on the area. Anne Geddes

Hi Marcus, 

There are a few resources available online for local Ayrshire History. I have a page on WikiTree with a few ideas if this helps you in your search.

Ayrshire Scotland Resources

And if anyone has other suggestions to add to that page, I'm always listening!

Cheers, 

Bobbie
