fortress here, long since destroyed. With the relative decline of its seaborne trade, Ayr
reinvented itself in the nineteenth century as an administrative centre and a popular

local tourist industry continues to do steady business out of the fact that Rabbie Burns
was born in the neighbouring village of
Alloway
(see p.164).
