This name applies to all the lands in Barry parish situated south of the Railway, and which extend from Buddon Burn on the West to the High Water line on the east. A few years ago Barry Links were wholly rough pasture land, but lately small tracts have been reclaimed, and plantations formed. They are studded with mud houses, having each a few acres of land attached, feud to poor people. These houses Lord Panmure intends to have removed. Two lighthouses have been erected on these links, and on their eastern side is a large sand hill which is very conspicuous. The name "Barry Links" is extensively known, though often called "Links of Barry"
