Ayr barracks was the Regimental Depot for the Royal Scots Fusiliers. The barracks was depicted on the 1st edition OS 1:2500 map (surveyed 1857), and on subsequent maps, at least as late as the 6-inch map of 1947 (surveyed 1938). The barracks was renamed the Churchill Barracks in 1942.
The barracks have been demolished.
