Old Photographs Dundonald Scotland

Old photograph of Dundonald in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The name Dundonald is derived from the British Din Dyfnwal, meaning "fort of Donald". It likely refers to a king named Dyfnwal who ruled this part of the Kingdom of Strathclyde between the 8th and 10th centuries. This Scottish village is mostly known for Dundonald Castle, which was built in the 14th century by king Robert II, on the ruins of a castle built earlier in 1260 by his grandfather, Alexander Comyn. It served the Scottish kings for 150 years.
