Thank you Peter,
It's amazing the things which the internet can reveal and inform us about.
This would be a real shame as it's the last building in the area which gives any key as to what it was like before all the development.
I was out and about with an old friend yesterday investigating some of the past industry and railway around Kilwnning and Irvine and right in the centre of a modern development the farm buildings were retained and turned into a community centre. If an old building survives this long it doesn't seem right it should be flattened when we are now more and more aware of destroying our past.
This made me rush off and look to see if the old buildings in use as a community centre at Oxgangs Road North are still there and it seems from Google Street view that they are.
