Burns History by Kenneth
2013 we had a Burns cousins get together at Ken at Pat's house on Christmas eve. On this particular evening, Ken expounded on some recently uncovered history of the burns clan, ruffians and trouble-makers, apparently, according to Kenneth Burns, as the clan existed in days of old in southern Scotland. He paints us as a very unruly clan, and notorious in southern Scotland and northern England. He tells a good story.
Laigh Borland, the Walled Garden and the Sandy Ford, Dunlop, Ayrshire
Laigh Borland may have been the site of a Kilwinning Abbey hospice and later a walled garden was built when it became the home of minor branches of local landed families. Dunlop Castle once stood on Borland Hill, held by the De Ross family. The Kennedys of Cassilis held the land, followed by the Cunninghames of Aiket and then the Dunlops of Dunlop. Some of the buildings may have been constructed using stones robbed from the old castle.

Places to see in ( Stranraer - UK )
Places to see in ( Stranraer - UK )
Stranraer is a town in Inch, Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. Stranraer lies on the shores of Loch Ryan, on the northern side of the isthmus joining the Rhins of Galloway to the mainland. Stranraer is Dumfries and Galloway's second-largest town.
Stranraer is an administrative centre for the West Galloway Wigtownshire area of Dumfries and Galloway. It is best known as having been a ferry port, previously connecting Scotland with Belfast and Larne in Northern Ireland; the last service was transferred to nearby Cairnryan in November 2011. The main industries in the area are the ferry port, with associated industries, tourism and, more traditionally, farming.
Some argue that the name comes from the Scottish Gaelic An t-Sròn Reamhar meaning The Fat Nose, but which more prosaically might be rendered as the broad headland. The most commonly accepted explanation is that it derives its name from the strand or burn which divides the row, raw, of houses on its banks. (The town burn, now under the two Strand streets.) In time Strandraw was named and spelled Stranrawer, and afterwards Stranraer.
The A77 runs north towards Ayr, Prestwick and Glasgow. The A75 runs east from Stranraer to Gretna, with links to the M6 going to Carlisle. The A75 is part of European route E18, but, like all European routes, it is not signposted as such in the United Kingdom. The main national coach providers operate services from Stranraer. National Express offer a service to London, and Scottish Citylink (in association with Ulsterbus) operate services to Edinburgh.
Stranraer railway station is the southern terminus for one of the branch lines of the Glasgow South Western Line. Trains are provided by Abellio ScotRail daily to Ayr, Glasgow Central, and Kilmarnock. From Stranraer connections to the West Coast Main Line, can be made at Glasgow Central, or traveling via Ayr, Kilmarnock, Dumfries to Carlisle. Onward trains from either Glasgow Central or Carlisle connect direct to London Euston and other destinations such as Manchester Piccadilly, Crewe and Birmingham New Street.
The Castle of St. John is a medieval tower house, built around 1500 by the Adairs of Kilhilt. It has been used as a home, a court, a prison, and a military garrison, the last during the Killing Times in the 1680s. The Old Town Hall, built in 1776, now houses the Stranraer Museum with its displays of Victorian Wigtownshire and the town's polar explorers, Sir John Ross and his nephew James Clark Ross. The town is also home to the North West Castle, built in 1820 and the first hotel in the world with its own indoor curling ice rink.
