growing up in beith

words, pictures and places. what it was like to grow up in the small town of Beith in Ayrshire Scotland. Words often paint many a picture, some words spark memories. A lot of these remind me of growing up there with my friends and remembering how great a wee toon it was.

I have strong family connections to Beith, my ancestors named Douglas were blacksmiths my grandfather born at Greenhills Beith. I visited Beith 2008 from Australia and felt that the village had seen better days but was charming in it's own way

I grew up in beith in the seventies and eighties. it was a great place. moved away in the mid nineties. come back now and again to visit family. any sunday you care to pick the town is dead and the saracen front door is mobbed. my eight year old thinks every body in beith is an alkie.

I was brought up in Beith and left in 1978. It was an awesome place to grow up in, although I didn't necessarily think that at the time. There were some real eejits and some really questionable behaviour but it was a place of it's time, and I wouldn't change a thing. Sadly, that time has gone forever. It is a very poor shadow of it's former self. It's dying.

[@chloeandelle7330]

Beith is absolutely fine I have lived in it for ages i love it

[@chloeandelle7330]

I live in beith I’m I have lived in beith for 10 years (I am 10) my favourite part is Mary’s pool I love going with friends it’s so creepy tho

[@lordlucan17]

it was a far better town when papa chook was walking arround at night singing his drunk heart out, oh if i`d only had a video camera back then

[@allillanchu]

Is Beith really that bad? I grew up there in the 80's/90's and loved it. Not living there now but I still visit. Lets face it,ok so it's got it's problems like every other small town in the central belt of Scotland but you have to think of the positives and not everyone's a drunken alkie drug addict ned... seems like people are too quick to stereotype on here. There are plently of people in Beith doing stuff for the community.
