Turnberry Castle Continued
"Earl of Annandale. As the birth place of King Robert the Bruce, the
"son of this marriage, Turnberry will be sacred to Scotsmen in all time.
"It was here in this Castle, that the first recorded meeting of the Scottish nobles,
"assembled for the purpose of supporting the title of the competitor Bruce to
"the Crown, was held. This occurred on the 20th September 1286 *** Whether
"Turnberry Castle had been built by William the Lion, as a means of subjecting
"Galloway more thoroughly to his sway, or whether it was a still older strong-
"hold, cannot be ascertained; but that it became the residence of Duncan, the
"first Lord of Carrick, as a distinct possession, can scarcely be doubted, Duncan
"was created Earl of Carrick soon after this arrangement; and as we have seen,
"founded the Abbey of Crossraguel in 1244."

Ordnance Survey - Ayr county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Ayr, which is in the south west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
