Stanley Burn 1 15
August 2002
The photo shows the Stanley Burn flowing through Parkhouse Walkway.
The Stanley Burn is known locally and inaccurately as the Galloway Burn. The
name 'Galloway Burn' is not used on maps. The original Galloway Burn flowed
through what is now Jack's Park in Saltcoats then beside Galloway Place and
the railway line before joining the Stanley Burn in the Holm
Plantation. At that point, the Galloway and Stanley Burns flowed into the
sea. This explains why the Stanley Burn might be referred to as the Galloway
Burn even though the latter has been filled in. If you know dates for the infill
or other information about the Galloway Burn, please contact WebsiteAuthor@ArdrossanPhotographs.net.
