Talk:Bourtreehill

message: Douglasnicol: please do not merge Bourtreehill with Irvine. The whole point of a clickable encyclopedia is that each feature can have a page of its own. Bourtreehill should remain a clickable link on the irvine page. The political union of Bourtreehill and Irvine is relatively young and as you have seen, Bourtreehill was an independant Barony and as such merits its own entry. As do stanecastle, girdle-toll, perceton, dreghorn and lawthorn. All of which are now part of Irvine.
:Fair enough, it was a suggestion when the entry was quite young.  Maybe what should be done is a revision of the Bourtreehill entry, multi headings, starting with the history of the area and what it entails.  Then mention the housing scheme in a section something like "Bourtreehill in Modern Times" in the same page.  You get the idea?  That would satisfy both the local historian and those interested in the present housing scheme. Douglasnicol 17:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This may be just my opinion, but shouldn't this really be merged with the main Irvine entry? Douglasnicol 17:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

* In general Wikipedia is quite expansive on place name articles. I am sure that this does not need to be merged. But it does need to decide whether it is about Bourtreehill, North Bourtreehill, Bourtreehill South, South Bourtreehill, etc. I suggest one article with redirects from the other titles. Note also a newly arrived article Bourtreehill House. -- RHaworth 18:56, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well perhaps we need to clear something up, Bourtreehill housing estate was generally known just as Bourtreehill, though in your postal address you could differentiate, but common usage seems to just refer to Bourtreehill (and Broomlands). Douglasnicol 20:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yes, maybe it should be merged 

message: I lived in Bourtreehill South, near Heatherstane way, and it was regarded as part of Irvine New Town, not just the Northern part.  Indeed Springside was also regarded as part of the New Town. Douglasnicol 13:00, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't me. You can check it with the history part of the page. Douglasnicol 22:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
