The historic town of Maybole lies equidistant from the burghs of Ayr and Girvan in South Ayrshire. The development of the medieval town was influenced by the tempestuous history of local rivalries and feuds - encouraging the building of substantial defensible townhouses, of which the castle and the tolbooth survive today, as well as a distinctive urban defensible townhouse that had been hidden beneath later remodelling. There are other glimpes of earlier remains and evidence of settlement patterns in the eighteenth and nineteenth-century townhouses in the heart of the town and in the burgage plots either side of the High Street. The core of earlier medieval settlement lies around the collegiate church and old kirkyard, as well as the site of the original church in Maybole, The volume also traces the industrial growth and thriving economic life of nineteenth-century Maybole, with new civic building, factory developments and residential expansion. The rapid changes of the last century are fully explored, and an evaluation made about the surviving evidence. The authors look at the archaeological potential of key sites in the town, to both direct more detailed research and help protect Maybole's heritage. This survey provides an accessible and broad-ranging synthesis of existing knowledge on historic Maybole, as well as offering invaluable guidance for planners. The book is part of the Scottish burgh survey - a series designed to identify which areas of Scotland's historic burghs are of archaeological interest.
