The Mccords of Ayrshire and Wigtownshire
The McCords of Ayrshire and Wigtownshire George F. Black, in his book Surnames of Scotland, offers an interesting explanation for the origin of the surname McCord in Scotland. He says it is an old surname in the parish of Ballantrae and cites Paterson’s History of Ayrshire as his source. Paterson, however, offers no examples to illustrate its antiquity in the parish1. From the earliest parish church records, which date from 1731, we find the marriage and names of the children of John McCord in the church registers. On 8 November, 1734, John McCord and Margaret McNeilly both of the parish of Ballantrae gave up their names to be married before the Kirk session and after the calling of banns three Sabbaths, they were married on 28 November, 1734. Over the next ten years, John McCord and Margaret McNeilly had at least six children2. 1. Thomas McCord, bapt., 12 February, 1736. 2. John McCord bapt., 22 February, 1738. 3. Agnes McCord bapt., 2 March, 1740. 4. Jean McCord bapt., 23 June, 1742. 5. A child born in Carlefin, bapt., 12 June or July, 1745. 6. A child born in Carlefin, bapt., 30 May, 1749. They lived in the little hamlet of Carlefin, which is located south of the village of Ballantrae, across the river Stinchar. It is very possible John McCord was either the son or grandson of another John McCord, who lived at Little Bennan to the north of Ballantrae in the parish of Colmonell. According to the 1691 Hearth tax of Colmonell, John was liable for the one-off tax payment of 14 shillings at Candlemas (2nd February)3. -

South Ayrshire 2 Small, Rural Primary Schools with a Shared Headteacher
Colmonell and Ballantrae Primary Schools Local Authority: South Ayrshire 2 small, rural primary schools with a shared Headteacher Summary Colmonell and Ballantrae Primary Schools, rural schools in South Ayrshire, have a whole school approach to Learning for Sustainability (LfS). In both schools, LfS underpins the rationale for their curriculum. “About five years ago, as a collegiate staff, we looked at the principles underpinning our curriculum, and identified that Learning for Sustainability was the key driver of our ethos, and the life and learning that we provide.” Yvonne Templeton, Headteacher The children’s voices are recognised as a crucial part of who they are. The schools created action plans, identifying key areas to develop with both children and staff alike and LfS is a main priority each year in their school development plans. Over a number of years, both schools have been involved in a range of initiatives including Rights Respecting Schools, Outdoor Learning, Sustainability, Global Citizenship, Eco-Schools, Climate Justice (Light Up Malawi) and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Education Scotland Whole school and Community Approach to Learning for Sustainability self evaluation and improvement framework is used as a tool for measuring the impact of LfS within the school. The school’s LfS activities have contributed fully towards a coherent and holistic approach to LfS and have significantly enhanced their links with the wider community. However, their journey towards a whole school approach has taken time and is continually evolving in response to the world and contexts which we all live in. The most surprising aspect of their LfS journey has been the passion and articulate voices of their young people, recognising the importance of small changes at a local level and their global links. -

That the want' of an " AYRSHmE Directory " lias long been felt in Law-Courts, Banks, Public Oinces among Factors, Professional Gentlemen, xlgents, Inn- keepers, Mercbants, and Dealers througbout the County—as well as by Strangers, and Professional and Mercantile Houses in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, and other Cities having intercourse with Ayr- shire, has been already fully proved by the numerous Subscribers to this Publication. Its compilation has been attended with much more labour and expense than those unacquainted with its details might suppose—the Lists for the Forty- six Parishes having been prepared, and at a later date revised, in each Parish. The Parishes are arranged alphabetically. PREFACE. The diiSculties attending a first attempt at present- ing so very full a List of the Inhabitants of a whole County, are pleaded in excuse of any inaccuracies that may be discovered. The indication of the Voters, though attempted care- fully, had better, perhaps, in the present edition have been omitted, as the Official Registers from which they are taken have never since the passing of the Reform Bill been purged of " dead," and "absent"; while at the date when consulted, this year's Electors had not been added. Prefixed to the Directory are Fifty-eight pages of County Statistics, Interest Tables, and other informa- tion valuable for reference; and Seventy pages of Advertisements are annexed. -

Colmonell Community Action Plan 2020-2025
Colmonell Community Action Plan 2020-2025 1 A word from Colmonell Community Association - Action Plan Subgroup Welcome to the 2020-2025 Colmonell Community Action Plan! Over the last three years - thanks to a significant and sustained community effort - our village has gone from strength to strength. We have a huge range of activities in the hall, a thriving youth club, a community garden, a revamped play area, and community-owned public toilets amongst many others. We are a community endowed with significant assets including a fantastic community hall, beautiful natural environment, and an excellent primary school to mentioned just a few. Most of all we are blessed with a vibrant, welcoming, and strong community. This plan aims to build on previous successes and create a bright future for Colmonell. During the Covid-19 crisis we saw how the community pulled together to overcome the challenges of the lockdown. One of the objectives of this action plan is to ensure that Colmonell makes a strong recovery from the impacts of the pandemic. Our plan is ambitious, and we will work collaboratively with Colmonell and Stinchar Valley community organisations, local businesses, South Ayrshire Council, local partners, and funding organisations to deliver it. We will also need the skills, knowledge, and experience of all Colmonell community members to bring the plan to life. Please get in touch if you would like to help! Finally, Colmonell Community Association would like to thank all those who gave up their time to take part in the initial engagement which forms the basis of this plan. We hope that the plan reflects the aspirations we have for our community.
