Anyone that knew our old office set up will realise that moving 20 years of accumulated paperwork, equipment, sheds and trees was a big time commitment but we’ve managed it and just in time. Our lease at Auchincruive ends tomorrow evening and we will be handing the keys back by lunchtime. While finding a suitable alternative space wasn’t easy, we have stuck out and found a perfect sport that we are all happy to move to.
Our new offices at Braeside, an idyllic location near Mauchline and a stone’s throw from the River Ayr. Brewster stands waiting on an invite inside….Hmmm, he will need to behave himself in future.
Our new office and storage are at Braeside near Mauchline. It will serve us perfectly and what we’ve lost in office space we have gained in storage but we have no garden so can’t continue to grow trees for planting out at the moment. We have several hundred trees we lifted and potted that will be planted this winter but after that, we may be looking for a small patch of ground to bring our seedlings on. At least now we have a large storage building that can accommodate all our equipment and will free up my home which often had Trust equipment cluttering up my driveway and taking over the kitchen.
This is the large office where Muir and Gillian grabbed the best two desk spaces while Struan and I were sorting out the storage.
The smaller office is treated to morning sunshine and is perfectly adequate fr two of us.
Good luck in your new office!!
Please can you tell me if there are any coarse fish in the lower reaches. Walking the lower stretch above the tidal weir in Ayr, i could have sworn i saw dace or roach dimpling the water surface the other day opposite the College.
No there are no coarse fish in the River Ayr as far as we are aware other than a few perch in the middle and upper reaches but winter fishing for these fish is not permitted due to the risk to salmonids spawning.
