"The baths of Ardrossan, a large and somewhat elegant building are well Known and deservedly in repute. They were projected by the
" Earl of Eglinton on the tontine principle in the year 1807. For many years after his Lordships death they were shut up and the premises allowed "to fall into a state of decay. In the year 1833 they were brought to sale & purchased by A. Macfadzean Esq M.D [Doctor of Medicine] who has at "considerable expense put them again into complete state of repair. The basins are all Marble with draping Rooms attached to each. There
" is one fitted up expressly for the poor, which is open to them gratis. New Stat Acct [Statistical Account]
