Skaters Ron McKenzie, Sheila Fotheringham, and Kay Shields were testing the ice at Paisley's Barshaw Park in 1954.

With the town boasting its own indoor rink, the winter freeze gave skating fans the chance to try out their skills in the great outdoors. Mind you, they often had to compete for space on the frozen pond with gangs of small boys building slides.

Sometimes, if the park keeper thought the ice too thin or dangerous, he would walk around the pond smashing up the ice closest to the sides (spoilsport!), turning it into a morass of broken and jagged peaks.
