Old Travel Blog Photograph Dundonald Scotland

Old Travel Blog photograph of houses, cottages and people in the village of Dundonald in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Dundonald, Gaelic: Dùn Dhòmhnaill, is mostly known for nearby 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. The ruins of Old Auchans Castle are also located nearby, the previous residence of Susanna Montgomery, Lady Eglinton. Since 1945, the village has served mostly as a dormitory town for the larger towns in the area.
