Barrholm was built by the Clark Family, Mill owners from Paisley. Children from the poor house were sent here for holidays. There is information on it in the archives at the Mill Heritage, Paisley.  I found that my Gran's sister went here then was fostered in Elgin. It was fir school age children. There was a fire 1975 when it was closed for repair reopening the following March where myself & brother were the first residents. We were there until it closed.
