June 1968 with mum dad and younger brother I was 5 he was 18 months old. I can remember it vividly being woken by the same piano song over loudspeaker to get up for breakfast . Which you could smell being cooked in dining room across from outdoor pool . We had a great week glorious hot weather in the outdoor pool A lot and horse riding along the Sandy beach . Lost Mum & Dad over the last 3 years. Was in the haven site a few years ago the roads are all the same but all chalets and most of the buildings are demolished my dad was right life is fleeting Butlins may be Gone in Ayr but the memories last for ever I’m 61 now lol but I can go back to that holiday in 68 in my mind like yesterday .

We were there in August the same year - Remember the side of the outdoor pool was painted bright orange so from the dining room it always looked as if the sun was shining...and don't forget the song over the speakers urging you to "Come and get an ice cream..."

Saddens me to think this has all gone, I have some fantastic memories of holidays at Ayr during the 60s, 70's and 80s.

Revisiting my childhood. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be!

[@mmcc7765]

I was here in the 80s with my best friend Zoe. Happy memories that will last a lifetime

Brings back childhood memories used to go every year from 75 to 86

My dad had cine footage of the camp in 1975, only went there that year but thought it was great. I can't remember the railway lines though. Good memories, remember Celtic player Billy McNeil being there as well (think he had just retired).

Lorna looks surprisingly modern, wee bit of Kiera Knightly about her maybe?

[@johnreeveswilliamson7228]

I wish they still had them in Craig Tara. Why did they take them away?

[@cycleSCUBA]
