Old Photograph St John's Tower Scotland

Old photograph of St John's Tower, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland. On April 26th, 1315, the first Parliament of Scotland was held in Ayr by Robert The Bruce at St.John's Tower. Later, during Cromwellian times, the town was used as a base and fortress for some of his men. Cromwell built a huge wall around certain areas of the town, most of which can still be seen today. St John's Tower, in that area, was originally part of a massive church, but the church was knocked down.
