EAST AYRSHIRE WEBCAMS

Visitors' Comments

"I visit your webcam almost daily. Miss my home town. Thanks for the wee bit of home." L. M., Brampton, Canada.

"Your webcam system is the best that I've come across. We're 'following' our daughter around by tuning in to webcams, where available, at the various towns and cities she is visiting on her UK/European holiday. None of the London nor European cities' webcams that we've accessed are as clear and accurate as the ones in Kilmarnock. Congratulations!" M.B., Brisbane, Australia.

"Thanks for the web cam. I spent my early years in Killie on the Grange Estate and was one of the first pupils to attend the Grange Academy (think that's the name?) Now in England. It's nice to see the place again, although I've been back many times and seen a lot of changes over the years. Thanks for helping us ex-pats to stay in touch." K.W., England.

"I have recently found this site which has webcams in Kilmarnock - my birthplace. I was interested to read of the famous names associated with Kilmarnock especially Robert Burns. I moved to France just over 2 years ago and have been researching my family, only to discover that Tam O' Shanter was my gr. gr. gr. gr. grandfather -real name Douglas Graham. Why could I not have found this out whilst living in Scotland !!? The reason I'm sending you this comment is that it makes me pround to be an Ayrshire "lassie" and to watch the webcam in Kilmarnock takes me back. Thank you." E.C., La Saquiniere, France

"Just a great webcam, look at it everyday. Lived in Hurlford till I came to Canada . This webcam keeps me in touch with HOME." J.S., Canada.

"I'm just writing to say that I really like the webcams. I'm originally from Hurlford and now live in New Zealand. I love the fact that I can see Killie Cross from NZ! It would be great if there were more cams though,e.g. in Hurlford itself/the other Valley towns and other areas over East Ayrshire." DL, New Zealand

"Just a note to let you know how much pleasure I get from your webcam. I grew up in Stevenston & have many happy memories of shopping trips to Kilmarnock with my Mother when I was young. I also remember going to dances there in the 60's. As I am unable to travel by air, due to ill health, I love to have a look on your webcam when I'm feeling a wee bit homesick." L.B., Queensland, Australia.

"My wife was born and raised in Buckie in Northern Scotland, and we have visited many times over the last 11 years. So I keep a bunch of links to Scotland, especially Scottish Webcams. I came across yours yesterday and was amazed that it was absolutely live. This is a great website and webcam. I will be visiting every day to see what is going on at 'The Cross' to see what is going on. I just hope everyone would follow your example and put up some live webcams. Enjoy it tremendously. Have a great day." J.McD., Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl.

"I check out the site every morning and even though your weather hasn't been that great I enjoy seeing the cross. Thank You." J.C.W., Ontario, Canada.

"I really enjoy this website." B.K., California.

"When we were home for a holiday I pointed out to my family in Kilmarnock where your webcam was at the Cross , now with a text to their moble phone they can give me a wave .....I look forward to seeing more webcams in the New Year ..... " E.M., Melbourne, Australia.

"I love your webcam at the Cross. Have a little look in most days.I was born and bred in Kilmarnock, so when I feel a little homesick I can always have a look at the town." R.W., Canada.

"You have a great webcam here!, I look at it all the time. " T.A.

"Hello Kilmarnock!
As i was born in Kilmarnock it was great to see the Cross on webcam." M.E., Australia.

"I am just writing to tell you at the East Ayrshire Council, thank you for having such great "live" Webcams from Kilmarnock. My wife and I visit as often as we can, but when we can not be in Kilmarnock, it is just fantastic to look to see what is happening at the Cross." M & S N., New York, USA.

"Love the webcam!" Jane.

"I would like to say that I lived in Galston (near Kilmarnock) all of my life and I'm in Australia now and these webcams are the best thing ever!!!! What a great idea and thanks so much." E., Western Australia.

"I look in on the webcams regularly from here in California and last Christmas I was able to look in on the Cross and see my friend Janice with her church group as they gathered at the Christmas tree to sing carols. Back when the webcam was trained on the church I would see my friend wave to me as she went in for morning service - if I happened to be up in the middle of the night California time. A unique way to connect across the ocean! When I visited Scotland last year one of the first things I just had to do was go to the Cross and see it live!" L., San Jose, California.

"Been in Coleraine for 12 years now but born and bred in Kilmarnock. I check into your webcams nearly every day and love seeing The Cross, great that's it's live. Hope in the future you can connect to some more in Kilmarnock. Great when I feel homesick to "look in" and see my old home town. Keep up the good work." P. B., Londonderry.

"Great to see Auld Killie online live! Even got me Old mum to give us a wave from the cross!! Amazing. Keep up the good work KLDC (it's been a while since I've been back!) " P.Scott, Wellington N.Z.

"I would like to convey my sincere thanks for your web cams and let you know how much I enjoy them." P.R., Florida, USA.

"I've been away from Killie for almost 5 years now... I just can't stop looking back at home from wherever I happen to be in the world... thank you so much for making it so easy to *stay in touch* with home ....." J.L.
