Kevin Brown, the youngest of three brothers, was born in 9 Bowling Green Lane
Galston, Ayrshire beside the River Irvine. He attended Saint Sophia’s and Saint
Joseph’s Schools along with his elder brothers Bernard and Jim. On completion of his
education, Kevin started an engineering apprenticeship at Glacier Metal Bearings,
Riccarton, Kilmarnock. He left Kilmarnock in 1980 to work for Ruston Gas Turbines
of Lincoln where he was based for 10 years, travelling and working in South America,
Russia, Egypt, Europe and the North Sea.
As his mother Kit would say - travelling was a second education. The gypsy life had a
natural end when Kevin married Sandra and moved back to live in Milngavie to raise
their family. Kevin now works as a Design Manager for a water treatment company in
the Oil and Gas Industry. To while away the hours in the deserts of Egypt, Kevin took
up on his fathers love of Burns poetry and learned the famous Tam o’ Shanter poem,
which he now to recites for charity Burns suppers.
