  • Airspace Change Consultation
    Airspace Change Consultation Glasgow Prestwick Airport is undergoing an Airspace Change Process. This is a programme many UK airports are undertaking. It is needed because of the removal of old navigation aids as part of a national replacement programme. Airports have operated routes based on this old equipment since the mid-1960s and need to update their procedures to be compatible with new, state of the art satellite-based systems. We are also using this opportunity to see if there are any improvements we can make to how we use our airspace to make it as efficient and environmentally- friendly as possible while minimising noise impact for communities.

Our knowledge of Alloway before 1236 is exceedingly scanty - but chance archaeological discoveries and a few documentary references provide brief, and therefore tantalising, glimpses of the peoples who settled in or passed through this area. Most of the archaeo- logical evidence comes from the districts just outside Alloway, in FOREWORD particular Doonfoot.

    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.
