Mauchline Burns Club use the room for their committee meetings. This is one of two common images used in J.T. Gibb's book, page 28. Faded copies also still hang on the wall in the old kitchen itself.

The interior of Poosie Nansie's, known as the old kitchen. It is when you see these images, you realise that there were more pieces from the past in the old kitchen at one time.

But in June 2011, the triple photo frame from the wall seemed to have disappeared. A look at the wall it hung on in the right hand image shows a few other old images. None of the above are of particular significance, as there are good quality copies available from the original negatives. The centre image of the men outside the pub is not unique either. The image used on slideshow page 306 is the same.

UPDATE: The images are same and well in a cupboard. Someone probably took them down to film, or else they were taken down by unseen hands!!

Also seemingly missing is the older guest book from many years ago, which included signatures of amongst others, Sir Harry Lauder.
