Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Barr, a village in the South West of Ayrshire, located approximately 8 miles from the town of Girvan. It is believed to have been established in the 17th century by smugglers who needed a safe place close to the secluded bays of the Ayrshire coast while having access to the Raiders Road which runs close by. The village is situated in the Stinchar Valley where the River Stinchar meets the Water of Gregg. The meeting point of these two watercourses is known locally as The Pot. The Parish Church in Barr dates from 1878, built to a design by A Stevenson. Early Gothic gabled chapel. Slate roof, skew gables, rubble walls, freestone dressings. Picturesque bellcote on the south-east corner. Fine wooden ceiling. Restored in 1978 by P J Lorimer, London. The parish has a strong Covenanters history with several being laid to rest in the village cemetery.
