ARCHIVE

This archive, as well as most of the other material on this website, is derived from the Records of Dalry Burns Club (the "Cairn").
I am indebted to all the secretaries and record-keepers of the Club and in particular to William Logan of Coldstream, Kilbirnie,
the original compiler of the Cairn and to John S Howie, the author of the History of Dalry Burns Club.

The original variations in spelling have been maintained throughout.
