Maybole is a burgh of barony and police burgh of South Ayrshire, Scotland. Pop. (2011) 4,760. It is situated 9 miles (14 km) south of Ayr as well as 50 miles (80 kilometres) southwest of Glasgow by the Glasgow as well as South Western Railway. Maybole has Middle Ages roots, getting a charter from Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick in 1193. In 1516 it was made a burgh of regality, although for generations it continued to be under the suzerainty of the Kennedys, afterwards Earls of Cassillis as well as (later) Marquesses of Ailsa, one of the most powerful household in Ayrshire. The Marquess of Ailsa lived at Cassillis House, simply outside Maybole up 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 previous times, Maybole was the capital of the district of Carrick, Scotland, as well as for long its particular attribute was the family mansions of the barons of Carrick. Maybole Castle, a former seat of the Earls of Cassillis, dates to 1560 and still continues to be, although aspects of the castle are considered as "of worry". The public structures include the town-hall, the Ashgrove and also the Lumsden fresh-air biweekly houses, and the Maybole combination poorhouse. Maybole is a brief range from the native home of Robert Burns, the Scots national poet. Burns's mommy was a Maybole local, Agnes Brown. In the nineteenth century, Maybole became a centre of boot as well as footwear manufacturing. Margaret McMurray (?? -1760), one of the last indigenous speakers of a Lowland language of Scottish Gaelic, is recorded to have actually lived at Cultezron (not to be perplexed with close-by Culzean), a farm on the outskirts of Maybole.
