Old travel Blog photograph of children outside the school in Auchinleck, Ayrshire, Scotland. Auchinleck is situated at the heart of the ancient Kyle district of Scotland. The place name means, " field of flat stones " in Scottish Gaelic, from achadh, " field, " and leac, " slab ". The small locality of Auchincloich has a comparable meaning. Although record of a community exists from as early as 1239, reliable records can really only be said to date from the arrival of the Boswell family in 1504. Near this Scottish village is Auchinleck House, past home of the lawyer, diarist and biographer James Boswell, 9th Laird of Auchinleck.
