Montgomerie Terrace, Ayr
This street lies within the old Cromwellian fort that existed in Ayr, built in 1652 but abandoned in 1660 with the land passing to the Earl of Eglinton. The street name comes from the Montgomeriestoun Burgh of Barony which failed to develop into an urban centre.

Cromwell's Wall And Miller's Folly
The old wall is a surviving section of the fort built here by the Cromwellian government in 1652-3. The small turret was added much later by a local businessman.

Miller's Folly At Ayr Harbour
The walls shown here are part of the original citadel, built by the Cromwellian army in 1652-3. The area later became known as Montgomeriestoun, which was made a Burgh of Barony in 1663. The successful Ayr businessman, John Miller, bought the property and called himself "Baron Miller". He built the small tower shown in this photograph, though nothing like it had been included in the original citadel. After completion, he seldom looked at the tower, and local people named it "Miller's Folly". (Source: "Ayr Stories", by Dane Love).
