Dreghorn
Dreghorn is a village 2 miles east of Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. ==History== Dreghorn is the birthplace of John Boyd Dunlop, inventor of the pneumatic tyre and is believed to be Britain's oldest continuously inhabited village after the remains of an ancient settlement were uncovered by builders, including the remnants of a 5,500-year-old well (one of only five to be found in Scotland) dating back to around 3500BC. During the development of new housing, a large prehistoric site was discovered to the north of the current Main Street, suggesting that there has been a settlement in Dreghorn for at least 5,000 years making it the oldest continuously inhabited village in the United Kingdom.
