The village of Dunure is in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and was a small fishing village, but now it has become a place of people to come for days out. The older fishing generation have all but gone, and new people with new ways are moving in, so the village is now in a state flux.Not altogether a bad thing. The fishing is dying out and so we will have to adjust to the changes.
