Stock Photography: Ayrshire
Burns Country
I have amassed a large collection of Stock Photography images which previously could be accessed via a link to Photographers Direct.com. This was a well-established website with well over one million images on record, supplied by thousands of photographers worldwide. However, in early 2019 the site folded without warning or explanation, I suspect as the result of a downturn in the Stock Photography market.
As an alternative means of displaying my stock images, I am in the early stages of creating a series of thumbnail gallery pages featuring shots previously held by PD in addition to some of those included in the main posts. Due to the large number of JPEG files I have not attempted to re-keyword individual files as before but have grouped them under general headings so that they can be accessed via a general search. Larger categories will be sub-divided and some subjects may be duplicated on one or more pages.

Please note that all my images are subject to copyright. They are not free to use and have been embedded with a digital watermark. Also bear in mind that the thumbnails displayed are relatively low-quality, may be under or over exposed, and do not fully reflect the standard of images produced from the high-resolution files supplied to clients.

The River Doon flows from Loch Doon in the Carrick Hills into the Firth of Clyde south of Ayr. Robert Burns was born at Alloway, a couple of miles upstream from the coast, and his cottage has been preserved. Along with the nearby Burns National Heritage Park and Visitor Centre, the cottage has recently been redeveloped. The old stone bridge spanning the River Doon at Alloway, as well as the nearby Auld Kirk (Old Church) feature in what is probably Burns` most famous poem, `Tam o Shanter.`

Alloway Kirk
Roofless and ruined, the Auld Kirk at Alloway dates from at least 1516 but it is thought that a earlier church dating from the 1200s either stood on the same site or nearby. The small graveyard is more interesting than the building itself as it contains lichen covered tombs and several decorated gravestones that are worth closer inspection. Some appear to depict scenes from Burns` Tam o` Shanter poem but most only relate to the occupation or trade of the person buried there.
