Old Photograph High Street Ayr Scotland

Old photograph of the High Street in Ayr, Scotland. Tour Ayr and Kilmarnock. William Maclure was born in Ayr on 27 October 1763. He was an Americanized Scottish geologist, cartographer and philanthropist. He is known as the father of American geology and as a social experimenter on new types of community life, collaborating with British social reformer Robert Owen, in Indiana, USA. In 1819 he visited Spain, and attempted, unsuccessfully, to establish an agricultural college near the city of Alicante. Returning to America in 1824, he settled for some years at New Harmony, Indiana, seeking to develop his vision of the agricultural college. Failing health ultimately required him to relinquish the attempt and to seek a more congenial climate in Mexico. There, in 1840, at San Ángel, he died aged 77.
