OS1/3/4/1 AYR Ar Are, Air, Aire Ayr Ayr Ayr United to Alloway Ayr Old Charter(1197). Old Writings of 15th & (and) 16th Centuries, Statistical Accot.(Account) (1842). Paterson's History (1847). Johnston's Map. Voters' List. "Ayr in all probability derived its name from the river at whose mouth it Stands, which appears to have given the Same designation also, to the parish, the bay,and the County. But whence was the name itself derived . There are rivers it is Said bearing the same appelation and having likely the same common etymology, in England, France, Switzerland and in almost every country in Europe. In the formation of Language, proper names, in particular, often take their rise from some quality in the objects to which they have become affixed. This has been obviously the case, in regard to the rivers Ayr and Doon. In Celtic to which the word must obviously undoubtedly be traced. Ar literally signifies clear, and Dhu or Dhur, dark, and those qualities are sufficiently characteristic of the streams which they designate. The latter in consequence of running a soft deep bog near its head, receives a black mossy tinge, which it retains during the whole of its subsequent course, whereas the former from flowing above a gravelly bed, continues clear and limpid throughout. The mode of spelling the word has undergone several changes in the process of time. In the royal charter of the burgh, and in all records,it is written Are; from this it came to be changed in Air, and since the end of the last century, Ayr has very generally been adopted, and is likely and is likely now to be permanent***. Ayr parish consists of the united parishes of Ayr and Alloway which are nearly equal in point of extent of Surface, a Small rivulet called Glengau-Burn.
OS1/3/4/1 Parish of Ayr -- [Page] 1
OS1/3/4/2 AYR Ayr "Burn forming the boundary betwixt them. They were united about the end of the seventeenth century. ***.There are two Small Lochs in the country part of the parish, one towards the South and the other on the eastern boundary. ** The river Ayr takes its rise in the eastern extremity of the county. **. The river Doon forms the south-western boundary of the parish. *** The extent of coast within the parish, must have been more confined at one time than it is at present, as the Doon seems to have joined the sea much nearer the town than it does by its present course. ***. The charter confers on the burgh very important privallages and very extensive property, extending its jurisdiction over the whole are perfectly distinguishable within a mile and a half of Ayr. ***. Ayr has been a collegiate charge since the days of Queen Mary, who made provision for a Second minister. As to the junction of Alloway parish, there is almost nothing distinctly known in regard to the mode of terms by which it was effected." From Statistical Account of Ayrshire. (1842)

There are certainly stones & other appearances in the place from which imagination might easily conclude that, at some distant time, there was such a building on this interesting spot. ** Tradition says that this lake derived its name from Fergus one of the Scottish Kings who defeated Coilus, king of the Britons in the adjoining fields." Satistical Acct [Account] (Coylton parish 1842). "There were it is said, till lately, the remains of an old ruined Castle near its margin, which probably was used as a shooting station by the Cassillis family to whom the property belongs. The materials have been used in building & repairing farm steadings & dikes in the vicinity." Statistical Acct [Account] (Ayr Parish 1842). "Loch Fergus with an isle with many growing trees, where great plenty of herons resort with the loch seal. There is a decayed monastery in it". (From Chronicles of Scotland 1624).

OS1/3/4/64 ROMAN ROAD [Ayr parish] Roman Road Roman Road Patterson's History Statistical Acct [Account] 033 ; 039 "The remains of the great Roman road leading from Galloway into Ayrshire are perfectly distinguishable, within a mile & a half of Ayr. These no one can have any difficulty in finding, who wishes to examine them. They lie to the southwest of Castlehill gardens behind the gardner's house, extending from near the avenue to the mansion, to the bottom of the hill to the southeast, and up the adjoining hill, passing close by the farmhouse of Breston. The features of this curious rem ant of antiquity are distinctly marked, and can hardly be mistaken. We have seen also a part of the same road in perfect preservation, many years ago, in the neighbourhood of Dalmellington, bearing similar features. From this point, it appears to have run to the east of the River Doon, by the farms of Ponessan, Boreland, etc on to near Cockhill, from which it had been continued in a straight line, past Castlehill, Storehill, Towlcauseway, to Ayr, which it entered by the ground opened for quarries at the head of the town, and ran along in the direction of what is now called Mill Street. In many parts of this course, distinct traces of it could be recognised till within a few years back, and there is reason to believe that, within little more than half a century ago, it formed the only road that was used for communication betwixt Ayr & Galloway & Dumfries shire. Whether it was brought to Ayr, from its being at that tine a town, a sea-port, or a military station, appears uncertain though one or other of these may probably have formed the motive. It is far from being likely that it was made to run in this direction either for shortness or convenience, since both the nearest and most level line to the Clyde, after passing Dalmellington, would have been by Old Cumnock, Irvine & Largs." Extracted from tatistical Account for Parish of Ayr. "The line of a roman road, supposed to have formed a communication between the Friths of Solway & Clyde, passes through this parish. Entering in at the eastern extremity, it passes through the farms of Polnessan, Smithston, Newfield, Boreland, Hollybush Mains and Causeway, which is supposed to have taken its name from this road. From Causeway it goes on to the farm of Perclewan, & passing through this and the farm of Lindston, it enters the parish of Ayr." Extracted from Statistical Account (1842) for Dalrymple Parish. "In Chalmer's Caledonia, notice is taken of a roman road which passed through the length of this parish, from Southeast to northwest. The line of it has been traced through Dumfries & Kirkcudbright shires. The last remains of it in this parish, on the farm of Burnhead, were raised 7 years ago to repair som dikes, which had formerly been built of the whinstone of which the road was formed. It had been from ten to eleven feet broad, composed of a row of large stones on either side, and filled up with Smaller between. Leaving Dalmellington it entered Dalrymple, where it has been traced in various places, and Terminated at a ford in the River Ayr, not a great distance above the town." Extracted from Statistical Account (Dalmellington Parish).
