I passed by Auchinleck in June on the A76 , travelling to the ferry at Ardrossan. Other than that, i know nothing of the place, but it keeps the thread going.

A talbot could be a type of hunting dog (there are many pubs called the Talbot for this reason) or a defunct car manufacturer. I wonder which the football club is named after.

In the 60's as a professional musician, I played a gig in Auchinleck.

Some very nice girls put us up for the night, saving us accommodation costs.

Was it something I said?

Great to see the name up in lights and not started by me though.....


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

How the Talbot got their name. A most unusually named chappie.


An attempt to resurrect the club in 1903 failed miserably and it wasn’t until 1907 when a public meeting at Kirklands Green saw some real interest to bring the Junior grade to the village. Auchinleck’s main problem was the lack of a decent football pitch and this soon ended when local landowner Lord Talbot de Malahide gifted Beechwood Park to the cause in 1908.

Would love to give a shout Auchinlecke, but when I tried my teeth went flying across the room
