The region has been inhabited from earliest times, as the remains of duns, cairns and barrows show. In the medieval period it played a key role in the emergence and consolidation of a unified Scotland, and it was from one of Ayrshire's many powerful families that the Stewart line of kings emerged. From this period there remain many castles and tower-houses. In more recent times, great houses such as Culzean were rebuilt by the finest architects of their day, and there are a number of important sites dating from the Industrial Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is both a narrative history and a guidebook featuring maps and plans as well as a detailed gazetteer enabling the visitor to locate and fully appreciate the many sites described.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birlinn General","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45608551940247,"sku":"9781839830822","price":1589.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781839830822.webp?v=1769294576","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ayrshire-9781839830822","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
