We used to stay in Highfield and thought we would grab an aerial picture of it. It is a small hamlet in North Ayrshire, in the Parish of Dalry, Scotland. It is situated between the settlements of Barkip and Dalry just off the A737.
It lies in the lands of the old Barony of Kersland, the ruins of Kersland Castle and East Kersland Mill being situated nearby at East Kersland.
Highfield is a hamlet of around twenty-five households at a crossroads on the old Beith to Dalry A737 turnpike, about half a mile from Dalry.
A pub was once located here known as the Highfield Inn with a shop attached. A part of the settlement on the former road to Kilwinning is known as the 'Creepies' or 'Little Acre.' Creepie is a Scots work for the hedge sparrow. The village had some miner's cottages at the 'Creepies', which have long since been demolished.
Here we can see Kilbirnie down the valley with the cranes of W&J Knox Ltd and then Lochwinnnoch in Renfrewshire beyond that.
