Around 1957 my parents took me to Butlins holiday camp in Ayr. I was only about three years old, so i don\u2019t really have any real recollection of the event. One memory I do seem to have is from a paddling pool that had a tiered water fountain, and I remember being there with my mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no photos of the fountain in my collection, but a search on Google found a photo of the water pool and fountain, which is included below. Although I don\u2019t remember it being red at that time it does confirm I had that memory at Butlins in Ayr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also have the photos my parents took of themselves and me, taking part in the camp activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


There were pipe bands, miniature railway, and other activities to keep everyone busy throughout each day. Below are just a few of the photos, the family ones may be included later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
