Old photograph of a horse and carriage in Tarbolton, South Ayrshire, Scotland. During the 1700s and 1800s, Tarbolton grew around a central crossroads that connected local farming communities with market towns like Ayr and Kilmarnock. Because travel by horse-drawn coach was the primary mode of long-distance transit, the village relied on coaching inns to service travelers, horses, and carriages.
