Cassillis House Located close to the River Doon, near Dalrymple, Cassillis House is the setting for the famous ballad "Johnnie Faa" - https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2XACAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Miscellany+by+Allan+Ramsay#PPA427,M1 Before her marriage to the powerful chief of the Kennedys, the countess had loved a young knight, Sir John Fall. She eloped with him, disguised as the gypsy, "Johnnie Faa". The Earl brought them back and made her watch the gypsy band and her disguised lover being hanged from the Dule Tree in front of Cassillis House. The Earl imprisoned the Countess for life in his town house, Maybole Castle 241392. He then divorced her and remarried. No human rights in those days!

The adjacent bridge over Glenside Gorge is Hoolity Bridge. The name is derived from the Scots 'Hoolet' or 'Howlet' meaning young owl, which birds are often still heard around here.

The New Bridge Looking across the Ayr towards the fine bow-fronted buildings on the south side. The double bow-fronted building was the town house of Alexander Stevens, the mason who over-viewed the construction work in 1786-88. These houses were saved from redevelopment by a local conservation group. The original bridge was so severely damaged in 1877 by storms and floods that a replacement had to be built. Completed in 1879, the new bridge has retained many of the attractive features of its predecessor. (Sources: "Discovering Ayrshire" by John Strawhorn, and "Ayr Stories" by Dane Love.)

The Wallace Monument On Barnweil Hill - geograph.org.uk - 1303986.jpg

The Wallace Monument On Barnweil Hill. William Wallace was the leader of the Scottish resistance to Edward I of England. During a period of truce, the King's barons summoned the Scots to a Court of Justiciary, held in one of the Barns of Ayr in 1297. Now the site of the Wallace Tower, this building was being used by the English as barracks. Wallace's men arrived first, but 360 Ayrshire barons were hanged one by one as they entered the building. When this was reported to Wallace, he mustered a group of men and returned to the Barns at night, where the English were feasting and celebrating their day's work. In revenge, Wallace and his men sealed the building and set fire to it, killing all the occupants. Ayr Castle was also captured and 5,000 English troops were killed, including the judges who had presided over the Scots' executions. As the Scots left the scene, Wallace stopped at a nearby vantage point to view the blazing remains of the Barns. He is said to have commented: "The Barns o' Ayr burn weel!" Ever since then, the hill has been known as Barnweil Hill. The memorial tower to Wallace was erected in 1856 and, until recently, was available for public access.
