The Country Houses, Castles and Mansions of South Ayrshire
Author : Alex F. Young ISBN : 9781840336313 Cover : paperback Price : £21.95
Although not comprehensive, about 95 houses are featured, alphabetically, from Adamton House to Underwood, Symington. Some properties are intact and well-known, such as Culzean. Some have been lost entirely, some are in ruins, and some face an uncertain future, or a combination of these. Coodham, at Symington, lay empty for some years before being converted by a developer. Carnell and Bairquhan have become hospitality venues. The origins, owners, and history of each, along with their fate today, are given in lengthy fact-filled captions accompanied by period photographs.
