Into Shanter Way
On the very edge of the square. The first house on the right, where the blue car is parked is called Mungo's Well. This name features in Burns's famous poem, Tam O'Shanter. When Tam was riding in the dark towards Alloway Kirk, he passed some grisly spots - "And near the thorn, aboon the well, Whare Mungo's mither hang'd hersel."

Auld Kirk Alloway
The old parish church of Alloway was built in the 16th century and was used regularly till 1691, and occasionally until the 1730s. From 1740 to at least 1752 it was used as a school building but then became ruinous. Robert Burns knew it in this condition, commemorating it in 1790 in his famous poem “Tam o’ Shanter”. In 1786, Ayr Council had the kirk building re-roofed to be a school again for several years. The graveyard remained in use till the 20th century.
