View of the Old Kirk Ayr near the Town Centre, rather hidden from the visitor to the town, the Auld Kirk is a must see building for anyone remotely interested in history. The building itself dates from 1654 but there had been a church in Ayr since medieval times. Facing the river a magnificent memorial is set into the wall of the kirk, dedicated to its first minister, Revd William Adair. A popular preacher, he is best remembered for saving the town from a plague ship which wandered into Ayr Bay.
