Photographs of Quarrier's Village near Kilmacolm

Quarrier's was constructed as the Orphans Homes of Scotland
in the late 19th century by the philanthropist William Quarrier.

The orphans' homes and associated buildings have now been converted
into private housing and expansion has taken place
with residential development.

A charity under the name of Quarriers
continues the work of the former homes
and is based within the village.
