County of Ayr No. 21
Parish of Kilwinning
"The town (Kilwinning) itself, however, has not much to recommend it. It consists
"chiefly of one narrow street, about a mile in length but the two portions at
"the extremities are somewhat detached; that towards the west is called the
"Byres; because, it is believed, the monks kept their cattle there; and the
"eastern has got the name Corsehill, from its being the place where
"they erected the Cross." New Statistical Account
