Old Photograph Symington Scotland
Old photograph of houses and cottage Symington in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This Scottish village is located close to the A77 road from Ayr to Glasgow. The name of the village and parish of Symington is derived from the person of a Norman Knight, Symon Loccard or Lockhart, who held the barony of Symington lands under Walter fitz Alan, the first Steward in 1165. The Lockharts of Barr in Galston were a branch of this family. Two other villages in Scotland are named for Simon Lockhart, Symington, South Lanarkshire, and Symington in the Scottish Borders. Stevenston in Ayrshire is named for Steven Loccard or Lockart. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
