Ayrshire
is a county on the west coast of Scotland, on the shores of the
Firth of Clyde. It has not been an administrative unit since
1975, when, under regionalisation, it became part of the Region
of Strathclyde and was divided into four districts: Cumnock
and Doon Valley; Cunninghame; Kilmarnock and Loudoun; and Kyle and
Carrick. In 1996, under a further reorganisation of local
government in Scotland, Strathclyde region and its Districts were
swept away, and Ayrshire was divided into three districts: East
Ayrshire, North Ayrshire, and South Ayrshire.
The subject matter of the Ayrshire History Web Site is the
history of the county and its people, and the local history of its
parishes, towns and villages..
