Activities

Photographic Survey

A Photographic survey of Somerset Park, Ayr was made following a proposal for recording from a member of the public. Somerset Park remains one of the largest, little-altered football grounds in Scotland. The survey was carried out in two stages, on the 23rd of October when the ground was empty and on the evening of 25th October, when a match was being played at the ground.
