Scope and Content Newton on Ayr Steeple, South Ayrshire Newton on Ayr Steeple is all that remains of the 18th-century town-house. Built to replace a ruinous 17th-century tolbooth, it was paid for by the town council acting on instructions from a body calling itself 'the Community'. The council hired the architect in 1792 and in June 1793 were able to toast the king's health in the new building. However, the height of the steeple was still under discussion and work was only fully completed in 1795. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
