It’s important to remember those who have lived and sadly passed on, who have all in their own way, made a big impact in Glenshesk. What follows is a collection of photographs of many of these people, but it is not by any means a complete list, as we are working on what we have been able to source so far. If you have a friend or relation who was born and/or brought up in Glenshesk, please send a photo to email: glensheskballycastle@gmail.com and we will be sure to include them.
