Ayrshire / Re: barrholm childrens home, largs

Barrholm did not burn down it was shut down in 1983. It is now an old folks hom called moorburn home.
It was not for neglected children as all different kids were there. There were some orphans, kids put in as the parents got divorced, others that needed extra support, some disabled ect. You must remember that if you were disabled or your parents were seperated the courts put the kids in homes as they thought this was better for them.
It was never a nice place to be as they rued with the hand. Sorry if I upset anyone but I remeber being beaten for going to the toilet.
