There are various suppositions respecting the derivation of this name. According to Chalmers in his Caledonia it is of Anglo-Saxon derivation the earliest notice of it being found in a charter of Henry III in Hearnes Liber Niger viz "in 1192, Duncan, son of Gilbert di Galiveia, gave to God and St Mary, of Maelros a certain piece of land in Carric, named Maybothel" - 'Bottle' a house or village 'May' the name of some individual or 'Maey' a kinsman or cousin". Others are of the opinion that the name is of Celtic derivation, from the fact of old people usually calling it Minniebole; and from it being in the old records and papers written Minnyboil or Maiboil: It would thus signify 'the heath ground upon the marsh or meadow'. Others in support of another Gaelic interpretation offer this:- Maigh (the gh being silent) a plain, and Buile a fold; Moni, small hills; and as the fold in old times consisted of wooden [flakes], removed from one spot to another to answer the grazing & manuring of the land, sometimes the fold or stall would be on the plain, occasioning the term Maighbuile [underlined], at other times upon the more elevated ground occasioning Monibuile [underlined].
The parish contains (according to the Statistical account) about thirty-four square miles; its greatest length being nine and its greatest breadth five miles, taken in the common way from the county map, and which is probably far from being accurate. By the returns [continued over] |

It was "then successively overrun by the Northumbrians, the Scots and the Irish. It was "afterwards infested by the Danes and "Norwegians, and by the English during "the struggles of Wallace and Bruce". |

"The tower (of Greenan Castle) is not very old, at least the letters & figures
" 'J.K. 1603' appear over the doorway. John Kennedy was the proprietor
"at the time, and it is probable that the tower was wholly built by him. At the
" sametime, there is little doubt that some similar stronghold existed on the spot
" long previously. Mention is made of the castle in the reign of William the
"Lion, in the grant of the Doon fishings for the Abbey of Melrose. It was then
" the property of Roger de Scalebroc, a vassal of Duncan, Earl of Carrick.
"In 1510, it is mentioned as 'his own mansion house', in a notarial deed by
"Thomas Davidson dated 1st July of that year; & in various other documents it
" is shown that the barony of Greenan had a tower, or other place of residence,
"before the date of the present fabric', Patterson's History of Ayrshire (1847) |

Th ruins of an ancient Stronghold Situated on a rock immediately above high water mark. That which appears to have been the principal part of the building and next the Sea is on a Solid rock about 20 feet high, the wall of the Castle appearing like a Continuation of the rock itself. From the bottom of the rock towards the high water mark is a steep grassy Slope of an angle of about 45°, The whole height from the H.W. [High Water] line to the foundation of the Castle being about forty feet. The outer walls are about four feet thick and not more than ten feet in height except the N.W. [North West] and which is about thirty, and in Such a ruinous State that no mark is left indicative of its former height. The interior is a heap of rubbish Consisting of half Calcined Stones, fragments of broken arches etc.
" From the Style of the building having an eye to Safety more than ornament - Dunure may be regarded as one of those Strongholds Supposed to have been built by the Vikings. Indeed the author of the 'History of the Kennedy's attributes the building of the castle to the Danes". Pattersons History of Ayrshire. |

"The author of the 'Historie of the Kennedyis 'attritubites the building of the castle to
"the Danes. He says - 'The Black Book of Scone sets their [The Kennedies] beginning
"to be in the reign of King Malcolm the second, who was crowned in the year of God 1010
"years, and was the fourscore King of Scotland. There was with the King one Mr Kennane of
"the Isles, who bruickis the lands of Stroworddell to this hour. This McKennane of the Isles'
"succession was at the time of King Donald's reign, when the Danes got possession of the whole
"Isles, banished by them into Ireland, where he remained to the reign of King Alexander the
"Third, and then came to King Alexander before the battle of Largs, with three score of his name
"and servants', and after that KingAcho was defeated, he fled to Ayr, & there took shipping.
"The principal man that pursued him was McKenane, with his two sons, and after that the
"King of Danes was received in the Castle of Ayr, McKenane followed on a Lord or great Captain
"of the Danes, to a crag in Carrick, whereon there was a strength built by the Danes, low
"by the sea side, the which strength McKenane & his sons took, & slew the Captain & all
"that was therein. For the deed which, this McKenane got the same strength from King
"Alexander, with certain lands lying thereto, the which he gave to his second son, & there was
" the first beginning of the name of Kennedy in the main land.On the strength & crag
"there is now a fair castle, which the chiefs of the lowland Kennedies took their style of
" for a long space, and was called lairds of Dunure, because of the Don of the hill
"above that house (In gaelic the name signifies the hill or part of the yew tree).
"This account of the origin of the Kennedies, & their acquisition of Dunure, is unquestionably
"fabulous. *** Here in the 'Black vout' (vault) the Abbot of Crossraguel, Allan Stuart,
"was subjected to a process of compulsion peculearly illustrative of the insecure state of society
"at the time. The roasting of the Abbot' as the circumstance was designated, took place
"on the 1st & 7th September 1570,"

The ruins of an old castle supposed to have belonged to the middle of the 17th Seventeenth century but no authentic information can be obtained as to the exact date of its erection.

"Dunduffe still exists in its unfinished state. It had been

" magnitude. The walls are as high as the second story, which
" seems to have been intended for the dining-room. The windows are
" large and the apartment has , even in its unfinished and ruinous state,
"a light and pleasant appearance. The site of the castle, on the range of
" hills not far from Dunure, commands a beautiful prospect. The ruins
"do not seem older than the seventeenth century."

"The ruins of several religious houses are still to be traced in
"different parts of the parish. The walls if the church of Kirkbride
"on the farm of Dunduff are distinct, the surrounding burying ground
" is still used, and an adjoining field bears the name of the Priest's
" Land. At Auchendrane and elsewhere, the number of similar erections
" were visible when Abercrombie wrote his Journal. Kirkbride has generally
" been considered as a parish united to Maybole, but being unable to
"find any notice of the union, I am rather inclined to think that
" it and the other ruins refer to the chapels attached to the
"Collegiate Church of Maybole." - Statistical Account (1842).
"Even the church of Kirkbride seems to have existed previously
"at all events contemporaneously with that of Maybole, both of which
"were granted by Earl Duncan to the Cistertian monnery of North Berwick
"the latter in 1216. This grant was confirmed by Neil, the son of
" Duncan of Carrick *** The Parish of Kirkbride, which was
"dedicated to St. Brigide, also continued in the hands of the Nuns
"of North Berwick till the Reformation. It stood on the

A small spring of excellent water not impregnated with any mineral Substances.

[Below entry for Sauchrie:]
"Sauchrie" "It is mentioned without any comment in
Abercrummie's description of CarricK, but the name is rarely to
be found in any of the earlier documents". "Mr James Chalmers
of Sauchrie, an immediate branch of the Chalmerses of Gadgirth, his name occurs in the testament of John Henderson
of Woodstown in 1618".
Patersons Hist. [History] of Ayrshire.
Mr. William Porteous of Dalrymple says that the oldest part of this house, still preserved in good condition
was built by a Sheriff Wallace of Ayr, the celebrated John Loudon McAdam, the McAdamizer of our roads, built a large
addition to it and lastly Archibald Kelso Esq. as late as 1817 or 1818 built the last addition or made the house as it now stands, three
houses joined and communicating together.
[Below entry for Beoch]:
There never was a castle at this place as mentioned in the Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] Mr
William Porteous of Dalrymple recollects the old Farmsteading, the dwelling house
a two storey plain building covered with thatch. None of the inhabitants ever heard
of a building at this place of more ancient date than the last mentioned.- |

J.G.Hannay Alexander Henderson
Rev'd [Reverend] William Menzies |

This Castle, property of the Marquis of Ailsa, is built upon a rock. The original building was a single square tower, date of erection uncertain. It has since been much improved & enlarged principally in 1687 and eight years ago. It is now a small elegant quad-rangular building four stories high. There is an old Spanish Chestnut tree about a hundred yards from the house believed to be the finest in Scotland - 16 feet in girth. A large old ash - named the Dule tree stands near the Grand stair of the Castle. About eight years ago the remains of an encampment were still traceable on one of the higher ridges near the Castle. The breastworks unusually extensive, ran in parallel lines along the heights, the space between varying from fifty to one hundred yards, according to the form of eminence. Origin unknown, but is sometimes supposed to have been Norwegian. |

Newark Castle - Johnston's County Map
"Newark Castle is still in a habitable condition, though the feudal pomp
"of former times has long departed from it.***The castle, originally a single
"square tower, in the style of those places of strength which began to spring up
"throughout the country in the eleventh century, is built on a rock, rising
" gently above the surrounding surface, but at the sametime affording ample
"means of defence, according to the system of warfare which then prevailed.
"It was surrounded by a moat - only recently filled up - with a drawbridge;
"and a small streamlet, which now winds past the knoll, supplied
" the fosse with water. The tower, including the arched keep, consists of four
" stories, and was ascended, prior to the improvements subsequently made
"by an inside spiral stair of very narrow dimensions. The entrance from
"the drawbridge appears, in older times, to have been through
"a portion of the rock. Of the age or history of the building,
" few particulars, we believe, are extant"

The Site of an ancient Fort or Camp. The track of what appears to have been a Circular Stone wall or rampart is Still visible. Elias Cathcart Esq. of Auchendrane, near whose residence it is Says of it, "Supposed to have been a Fort or Camp. There is the track of a stone wall which enclosed a Circular Space of about 70 feet in diameter. The Situation is one of great Strength as it is precipitous on all Sides except one which appears to have been protected by a moat or ditch." |

The Site of an ancient Castle not a vestige of which remains at present. It was the residence of John Muir mentioned in Sir Walter Scott's Tragedy of Auchendrane. Patterson in his History of Ayrshire says "not a vestige of the building now remains. The only memorial left of it is a yew tree, the age of which it is impossible to guess at. The Dule tree, respecting which Sir Walter Scott tells a characteristic anecdote of the last Laird of Auchendrane, was Cut down and Sold to a Cabinet-maker". Adjacent are the roofless walls of what was intended for a Cothouse but never finished. |

Situated on a gently Sloping declivity affording a delightful view of the low ground and the hills beyond towards the east S.E. [South East] and South. It is very irregular most of the Streets being narrow and badly paved. The principal thoroughfare which extends through the whole length of the town in N.E. [North East] and Southwesterly direction has three distinct names. New Yards to the N.E. [North East] extending from the Railway Station to Maybole Castle is pretty regular the houses being mostly recently erected neat and two Storey. Whitehall to the S.W. [South West] is regular the houses of which are also Modern and with a few exceptions two Storey. Main Street in the Centre extending from the N. [North] end of Welltrees Street to Maybole Castle is irregular and badly paved. Many of the houses, which are nearly all two Storey and in good repair, have been rebuilt and others repaired giving them in general a neat appearance. This is almost exclusively a Street of Shops, grocers, drapers etc, the only one in the town worthy of notice. The Streets branching off towards the S.E. [South East] from this are narrow, Steep, and irregular, and the houses generally one Storey. The old burying ground is Situated in the S.E. [South East] part of the town & is enclosed by a Stone wall Six feet high. The old Ph. [Parish] Church stood about the Centre of it. [Continued over] |

Adjacent to and west of the burying ground a new two Storey dwelling house Stands on the Site of what was once called the "Black House". The houses of the Abbots of Crossreguel extended from this westward, but they have all been removed and new dwelling houses occupy their Sites. There is a weekly Market held on Thursday. A General Post Office & a Circulating Library. A Coach starts daily for Ayr from the Sun Inn at 9 a.m. & returning at 7 p.m.. Another passes through from Girvan to Ayr at the Same time in the Morning passing on its return at 6 p.m.. Also two coaches which run between Ayr and N. [Newton] Stewart pass through here daily.
"The derivation of the name of the town & parish of Maybole in the former Statistical account, from Maybole, must be regarded as purely fanciful. Chalmers, in his Caledonia, says, that the earliest notice of the name is in a Charter of Henry III in Hearne's Liber Niger Viz. in '1192, Duncan, the son of Gilbert di Galineia, gave to God & St. Mary, of Maelros a Certain piece of land in Carrick, named Maybothel', and he suggests in Ansegeum an Anglo-Saxon derivation."

[Note Nape of Daltammie] scored out " This object does not
extent into Maybole
Parish, but is contained
in Kirkoswald
"There are various encampments in the parish,
" and traces of others enclosed by mounds of earth. Though they may have
" been British fortlets, of the Roman period, it is probable that they were
"connected with more recent wars - the invasions of the Irish, or the Danes
"and Norwegians." from Pattersons History of Ayrshire
The Statistical Account (1842) speaking of the old forts etc in
Maybole parish, says, "It is common to designate them as Roman Camps;
"but they appear of far too inconsiderable dimensions to be connected with
"the history of that great people, and are far more likely the remains of small
"forts erected by the Irish who frequently overran the country, and many of which, of
"the very same form & construction, are still found in Ireland." |

An extensive farmsteading in middling repair, property of Sir James Ferguson, dwellinghouse two storeys, offices slated & thatched one storey. This farmsteading has been erected on the ruins of Dalduff Castle. Two gables of an outhouse - a few feet of masonry in the lower parts of another outhouse and a considerable part of the dwellinghouse are portions of the old building. The dwellinghouse comprises an entire vaulted chamber belonging probably to the donjon of the Castle. Several bay trees of a great age are situated near the steading. In a tale named "The Governor's Daughter" contained in a Small volume entitled The Ayrshire Wreath, Dalduff Castle is made the scene of some tragic incident occurring, it is there alleged, about in the early part of the reign of King Robert Bruce. The fort is spoken of as a place of considerable strength, and in the same volume allusion is made to a beautiful superstition still prevalent in the vicinity. During the construction of the present building an urn was found filled with spearheads javelins etc in good preservation. |

This farmsteading [Dalduff] has been erected on the ruins of Dalduff Castle. Two gables of an outhouse - a few feet of masonry in the lower parts of another outhouse and a considerable part of the dwellinghouse are portions of the old building. The dwellinghouse comprises an entire vaulted chamber belonging probably to the donjon of the Castle. Several bay trees of a great age are situated near the steading. In a tale named "The Governor's Daughter" contained in a small volume entitled The Ayrshire Wreath, Dalduff Castle is made the scene of some tragic incident occuring, it is there alleged, about in the early part of the reign of King Robert Bruce. The fort is spoken of as a place of considerable strength, and in the same volume allusion is made to a beautiful superstition still prevalent in the vicinity. During the construction of the present building an urn was found filled with spearheads javelins &c in good preservation. |
