Newmarket Street, Ayr
AYR
Established as a Royal Burgh in 1205. Ayr served as a central marketplace and harbour throughout the medieval period and was a well-known port during the early modern period.
On the southern bank of the River Ayr sits the ramparts of a citadel constructed by Oliver Cromwell’s men during the mid-17th century. Towards the south of the town is the birthplace of Scottish poet Robert Burns in the suburb of Alloway. Ayr has been a popular tourist resort since the expansion of the railway in 1840 owing to the town’s fine beach and its links to golfing and Robert Burns.
