In
the late 1980's, probably 1989 or even 1990, John Faulds of Sorn took
the following collection of aerial shots of Sorn Village. Many changes
have become the village since then. |

The first image shows the old Woodhead small holding on the left, which has now been replaced by a large dwelling house. The Greyhound Inn on the Main Street right, is still open for trading at this time, and the car park at the back where now Treesbank Cottages are situated is seen behind the building. Sorn primary school, opened 1850, is seen on the extreme right. On the top left of the image as the river Ayr meanders throught the valley, Sorn Auld Kirk can be seen, built in the late 1600s! Tinker's Acre can be seen centre of the photo, across the river from where the ploughed field ends, by the trees. (where the ruins of Lintmill lie)
