    Newsletter March 2012 F.O.L.K.F.O.L.K. NEWSLETTERNEWSLETTER Vandals strike again A phone call from a member of the public brought the sad news that Loudoun Kirk had once again been the target of vandals. The lady, who first advised us of the problem had been visiting her family grave just before Christmas and noticed pieces of lead at the base of the kirk. We have to carry out all repairs to the kirk according to Historic Scotland's standards and unfortunately we are not allowed to use any of the modern preventative measures to deter metal thieves. All the lead was taken from the kirk during autumn 2010 and the company who carried out the work of renewing the lead fitted the lead in such a way, that it would make it difficult for any would-be thief to remove it all again easily, whilst still working within the bounds of Historic Scotland's legislation. Thankfully this worked and recent attempts were thwarted by this simple but ingenious method. Although in this instance, the lead on one side has been badly damaged, none of it was removed. It can be clearly seen in the photograph how the lead on the lower half of the right side of the roof has been ripped up (with the use of an 18” chisel, found at the scene). Some of the lead tabs holding it on were taken off and sadly the stone cross broken off from the top. Although there is a reasonable amount of damage to the lead and cross, nothing has been taken.

    Newmilns & Greenholm Community Action Plan 2021-2026 Profile

    Newmilns & Greenholm Community Action Plan 2021-2026 Profile 1. Brief Description and History 1.1 Early History Evidence of early habitation can be found across The Valley, with the earliest sites dating from around 2000 BC. To the east of Loudoun Gowf Course, evidence has been found of the existence of a Neolithic stone circle and a Neolithic burial mound lies underneath the approach to the seventh green. A site in Henryton uncovered a Neolith barrow containing stone axes (c. 1500 BC) and a Bronze Age cairn dating from about 1000 BC (the cairn itself contains cists which are thought to have been made by bronze weapons or tools). Following this early period, from around AD 200 evidence exists of not only a Roman camp at Loudoun Hill, but also a Roman road running through The Valley to the coast at Ayr. The camp was uncovered through quarry work taking place south of Loudoun Hill but tragically much of this evidence has been lost. According to local workmen, many of the uncovered remains & artefacts were taken with the rest of the quarried materials to be used in road construction projects. Typically, little is known of The Valley's history during the Dark Ages, but it seems likely that an important battle was fought around AD 575 at the Glen Water. In addition, given the strong strategic importance of Newmilns' position as a suitable fording place and a bottleneck on one of Scotland's main east-west trade routes, it is not unlikely that other battles and skirmishes occurred during this period.

To name any individual is perhaps rather invidious, but I would like to draw special attention to the assistance given by the archivists, librarians and administrative officers of those authorities whose records I consulted. I would hope that this volume would in turn assist a wider understanding of what their archives and libraries can provide: they offer much for the history of Scotland. I must, however, record my special thanks to Dr John Strawhorn, who kindly searched out and obtained Dr Littlejohn’s report on Ayr (1892). I am greatly indebted to the following for their kind permission to use material from their archives and records: The Keeper of Records, the Scottish Record Office The Trustees of the National Library of Scotland The Archivist, Strathclyde Regional Council The Archivist, Ayr District Archives The Archivist, Edinburgh District Council The Archivist, Central Regional Council The Archivist, Tayside Regional Council Midlothian District Council Fife Regional Council Kirkcaldy District Council

    AYRSHIRE MONOGRAPHS NO.25 The Street Names of Ayr Rob Close Published by Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society First published 2001 Printed by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire Rob Close is the author of Ayrshire and Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (1992), and is presently co-editor of Ayrshire Notes. He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.

    November 2002

    November 2002 Before After Work at Kirk Nearing Completion The past year has seen many changes at the Kirk and at last the restoration work is nearing completion. Ivy and other vegetation that was eroding the West Gable have been removed and the masonry stabilised. The stone work has been cleaned, repaired or replaced and new guttering and down pipes fitted with drainage placed at the base of the building. Once bricked up windows have been re-opened and new grilles fitted. The rendering inside the Choir has been removed and returned to the original stone work and the wooden ceiling repaired giving a light airy atmosphere to the interior. The initial plan was to replace damaged of missing slates. Once the slates were removed vandals destroyed around 75% of them resulting in the fitting of an entire new roof. The vandalism of the roof slates in conjunction with the poor weather conditions and wrangles over work required and funding has delayed much of the work. Although the keys to the Kirkyard are still in the hands of contractors, it is now only minor alterations required to comply with Historic Scotland. Lady Barbara Countess of Loudoun has kindly gifted the funds for replacement gates to the Kirk. Currently we are seeking funds for the repair and stabilising of the Burn wall and replacement of the bridge parapet at the Kirk entrance to make it safe and provide more suitable car parking facilities.

Printed by Minuteman Press Printing, 61 Kyle Street, Ayr, KA71RS We, the Scottish National Party candidates for election at the South Ayrshire Council Elections being held on 4th May 2017 are committed to serving you the people of South Ayrshire and the communities in which you live. To do so, we believe it will be necessary to make radical changes from the current situation where the Council impose major decisions on the public without any meaningful consultation, engagement or discussion to a position where it is acknowledged and accepted that as Councillors, we are elected to serve you and listen to your views and take account of what you would want to see happen in your communities. Put simply the SNP want communities to have a new experience of local government as active participants, partners and decision makers. Our first actions therefore will be to listen to your views and this dialogue will shape the detail of how we will bring control of budgets and services closer to our local communities. We know that our different communities have varied needs and accept that communities have different needs and priorities. We also firmly believe that we should be accountable to you, not just every five years at election time but always, and we will commit to regular meetings with communities to be held accountable for our decisions.
