Maybole NS 300 099 NS30NW 1, 6 & 7 NS31SW 12
Maybole was erected a burgh of barony in 1516 and contained the town houses of many of the local gentry. The castle was probably built by the Earl of Cassi II is in the early 17th century, and the tolbooth, the tower of which is incorporated in the town hall, was formerly a house of the Laird of Blairquhan. There are no visible remains of the medieval parish church of Maybole, which stood in the burial-ground immediately NE of the scheduled collegiate church.
