Old Photographs Dunure Scotland
Old photograph of cottages and houses in Dunure, Ayrshire, Scotland. Dunure village is located on the coast of the Firth of Clyde. Dunure Castle is the point of origin of the Kennedys of Carrick, who once ruled over much of south western Scotland and were granted the lands in 1357. In August 1563, Mary, Queen of Scots, visited the castle for three days during her third progress round the west of the country. One tradition is that the castle was built by the Danes and another states that the Mackinnons held the castle from Alexander III, as a reward for their valour at the Battle of Largs. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
