Publisher's Synopsis
The investigation into defining "Being West Kilbride" continues with this second volume by Stephen Brown. By means of the exploration of the identity of a rural community on the West Coast of Scotland, through it's common history, heritage and memories, Brown teases out the golden threads of home village DNA that endures in the hearts and minds of so many who have grown up, lived or prospered there. In this second volume, Brown illuminates on the early schooldays of the Nobel Peace Prize Winner that grew up in the village, narrates the story of the village celebrations surrounding Queen Victoria's Jubilee, the opening of the Village Hall, how Helen Keller, the American heroine, lived in West Kilbride for a few months and many, many more tales of interest.
