I hate to say it, but Kilbirnie Kirk is now disused. If you’re in the area again, try to visit Dalgarven Mill, outside Dalry. You’d find it interesting there.

Sad - I didn't have time to visit but heard 100s of Scottish parish churches are being closed down. Dalgarven Mill is wonderful. Thanks

@hballantyne0 10 ай бұрын
Sounds great for people who like Black Pudding. Sadly when you pass through on a Sunday, options are limited. The cafe made a beautiful scone, and the church service was lovely with a friendly cuppa afterwards. I loved visiting a small village where 3 generations of my family came from. I think I'll be back one day - NZ is a long trip.

You mention the family name Pollock as being among your ancestors. Here are some records from Ayrshire Archives: Assignation by Agnes Smith and James Pollock, her husband to John Stewart, barber in Maybole. At Maybole, 5 Jan 1807. Letter from James Fulton and Bell Smith to Jean Smith, John Stewart, Agnes Smith and James Pollock concerning the bond. Maybole, 7 Feb 1817. Letter from Agnes Smith, James and John Pollock to Jean Smith, John Stewart, Bill Smith and James Fulton, concerning payment of the bond. At Maybole, 6 March 1818. Refs Nos. ATD60/6/18/4, and 5, and 6, respectively.
@hballantyne0 10 ай бұрын
Thanks - Agnes Smith and James Pollock are my 4x GGparents! A shoemaker from Maybole who died of Typhoid. What would an assignation mean? Is that like a loan? James and John in 1818 would be his sons after he died March 4! Amazing. I believe Jean Smith is Agnes' sister. I'll have to have a good look. Thanks so much. I'm hoping to do more of a family ancestry focuused video next of Pollards in Maybole and Kirkmichael. I am working on Guthries from Straiton at present.

Very interesting film; the Kennedy Aisle dates from the 16th c. and has close links with Crossraguel Abbey (pron. Cross-raygill) near Maybole, Ayrshire. I believe the 'tomb' there is empty - an Easter sepulchre.

Saying 'Robbie' Burns usually makes Scots cringe, but funnilly enough, today many Scots refer to him as Rabbie Burns which he was possibly never referred to in his life. The poet called himself 'Robin' when he wrote, 'Twas then a blast o Januar wind blew hansel in on Robin'. He was born on 25th January, 1759. By the way the little bowl in the kirk has nothing to do with Robert the Bruce. It is either a bird bath or a holy water stoup from an earlier chapel.

Thanks for your knowledge - a true Scot will know more than a visiting kiwi and google! I cringed reading his poetry aloud as well but didn't want to break copyright by using someone else's voice.

The 1755 map is completely false? These maps were compiled after the murder of king Charles ll, the last real Sovereign of The United Kingdom. Go back not even 5 years and it was completely different! The named Sovereign territories, were marked by names, these are the Sovereign indegenous black people who came from the uk! Charles ll was the great granson of Margaret Tudor, King Henry Vlll sister who was also light brown a" red bone" Commonly known as mixed race! There is NO such thing as a indigenous white man from Scotland or Ireland as they are related to the jacobites! Only gypsies!👨🏾🎓

Thankyou - I learned more about Scotland's history. From NZ :) I don't really understand all your reply but I think you are saying the place names on the map are have been renamed by the English invaders. I found this map from 1684 National Library of Scotland - are they the original names? maps.nls.uk/view/00001009 I also read that there were Pict stones from about 600AD. I read they came up originally from Moorish north Africa. I found that interesting. Thanks for your comments
