I live in Kilbirnie but my Ballanti(y)ne rellys came from Stevenston, mainly. I have "Trees" for Ballanti(y)nes of Stevenston which I would share with any interested, only wishing to add info to these trees in exchange. I think the Threetowners web site is great and hope it continues to grow. Agnes Harris.

What a wonderful site and a really great idea. I originate from Saltcoats and have lived in South Africa for the past eighteen years. Hugh, I have found my long lost cousin James MacCreadie as a result of this site. I also see Alan Buchanan beat me to it. I met him for the first time only last week by chance, and told him about this site. I would like to hear from any long lost friends out there, especially those who went to St Michael's Academy in the Seventies. Here's hoping your site goes from strength to strength. Kindest regards,Paul Dorrian South Africa.

HI, My name is David Young. I now live in London but have fond memories of Saltcoats, which I visit once or twice a year. Was very pleased to hear that the Sea Queen Celebration is being re started. I was in that on three occasions from 1952. Who remembers the rehearsals of Mr Wiliam Latta. I shall be in Scotland soon and hope to catch the Sea Queen celebrations. Thank you for this most interesting site.
