Maybole
Maybole is a burgh of barony as well as police burgh of South Ayrshire, Scotland. Pop. (2011) 4,760. It is situated 9 miles (14 km) south of Ayr and also 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Glasgow by the Glasgow as well as South Western Railway. Maybole has Middle Ages origins, getting a charter from Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick in 1193. In 1516 it was made a burgh of regality, although for generations it stayed under the suzerainty of the Kennedys, later on Earls of Cassillis and (later on) Marquesses of Ailsa, the most powerful family members in Ayrshire. The Marquess of Ailsa lived at Cassillis House, just outside Maybole until its sale in 2007. In the late seventeenth century, a census recorded Maybole was residence to 28 "lords and landowners with estates in Carrick and beyond." In former times, Maybole was the resources of the district of Carrick, Scotland, and also for long its particular feature was the family manors of the barons of Carrick. Maybole Castle, a previous seat of the Earls of Cassillis, dates to 1560 and also still remains, although facets of the castle are viewed as "of worry". The public structures consist of the town-hall, the Ashgrove as well as the Lumsden fresh-air biweekly houses, and the Maybole combination poorhouse. Maybole is a short distance from the native home of Robert Burns, the Scots national poet. Burns's mom was a Maybole homeowner, Agnes Brown. In the nineteenth century, Maybole became a centre of boot and footwear production. Margaret McMurray (?? -1760), one of the last indigenous audio speakers of a Lowland dialect of Scottish Gaelic, is recorded to have lived at Cultezron (not to be puzzled with nearby Culzean), a farm on the outskirts of Maybole.
