In the local government reorganization of 1996, Strathclyde was dissolved and the council areas of South, East, and North Ayrshire were created in part from the former territory of Ayrshire. Wikipedia Ayrshire Ayrshire Siorrachd Inbhir Àir in Scottish Gaelic ) is a traditional county in south-west Scotland , located on the shores of the Firth of Clyde . Its principal towns include Ayr and Kilmarnock . The town of Troon (pop. 20,000) on the coast hosts the British Open Golf Championship every seven years, including the most recent one in 2004. Approximately 200,000 visitors come to Troon during this period. Ayrshire is one of the most agriculturally fertile regions of Scotland. Potatoes are grown in fields near the coast, using seaweed-based fertiliser, and in addition the county produces pork products, other root vegetables, cattle (see below) and summer berries such as strawberries are grown abundantly. It became part of the kingdom of Scotland during the 11th century .

    Extractions: Explanatory Notes Galt The Scottish-born novelist and promoter of colonization John Galt (1779-1839) served as Superintendent of the Canada Company from 1826 to 1829, in which capacity he founded the town (now city) of Guelph, Ontario in 1827. Two of Galt's subsequent novels of emigration and settlement in North America, Lawrie Todd or, The Settlers in the Woods (1830) and Bogle Corbet or, The Emigrants (1831), as well as his subsequent Autobiography (1833), contain accounts of the founding of a settlement and the ceremonial cutting of the first tree and both exerted a considerable influence on Canadian poems of emigration and settlement such as Alexander McLachlan's The Emigrant (1861) (see Explanatory Note to Chapter IV: Cutting the First Tree) and Isabella Valancy Crawford's Malcolm's Katie (1884) (see 2: 147-164). "It was consistent with my plan to invest our ceremony with a little mystery, the better to make it remembered," recalls Galt in the chapter on "The Founding of Guelph" (Chapter 9) in his Autobiography : "[W]e walked to the brow of the neighbouring rising ground, and Mr. Prior having shewn the site selected for the town, a large maple tree was chosen; on which, taking an axe from one of the woodmen, I struck the first stroke. To me at least the moment was impressive

    Extractions: Macfie In order to better understand the family relations ,which at times appear to be very confusing, certain extracts of the books written on or about the families have been incorporated into this web page. It is suggested that if you are interested in the history of that period of time, whether it be Scottish, English, Swedish, European, Canadian or for that matter American you should take the time to obtain the books in question and read them in their entirety. One must realize also at this time in Scotland, the industrial revolution was beginning to run at full speed, many new inventions were coming into play that allowed adventuristic gentlemen, and others, some very unscrupulous, to embark on schemes that for some of them, made them very very rich . The majority of these families, while not belonging to the upper crust of Society, or to the Aristocracy, managed to find their own level of social interaction. Mingling, associating, and marrying amongst themselves, provided them with the ways and means of enforcing their status and increasing in most cases, their financial portfolios. What Royalty had accomplished in the past to ensure their own strong succession, was now being practiced several social levels below, by the rising industrial entrepreneurial class. It would be pleasing to the mind to have read in the multitude of documents written of the history, of Scotland, England, Canada, Sweden, Austrailia and New Zealand, that the Macfie family, or individual members there of, played some important role in the development of things , however this was not the case.

If he does not behave well abroad, I will send him home in a transport. [Troopship]. I have a German servant [Friese. Byron sent him home from Gibraltar] - They constitute my whole suite. You shall hear from me at different ports I touch upon, but you must not be alarmed if my letters miscarry. The Continent is in a fine state!

    Extractions: Gaimar to Gardiner Gaimar, Geoffrey Galt, John published Letters from the Levant , which had a favourable reception, and some dramas, which were less successful. He soon, however, found his true vocation in the novel of Scottish country life, and his fame rests upon the Ayrshire Legatees The Annals of the Parish Sir Andrew Wylie The Entail (1824), and The Provost . He was not so successful in the domain of historical romance, which he tried in Ringan Gilbaize, The Spae-wife, The Omen , etc., although these contain many striking passages. In addition to his novels Galt produced many historical and biographical works, including a Life of Wolsey Life and Studies of Benjamin West Tour of Asia, Life of Byron Lives of the Players , and an Autobiography (1834). In addition to this copious literary output, Galt was constantly forming and carrying out commercial schemes, the most important of which was the Canada Company, which, like most of his other enterprises, though conducted with great energy and ability on his part, ended in disappointment and trouble for himself. In 1834 he returned from Canada to Greenock, broken in health and spirits, and died there in 1839 of paralysis. Galt was a man of immense talent and energy, but would have held a higher place in literature had he concentrated these qualities upon fewer objects. Most of his 60 books are forgotten, but some of his novels, especially perhaps The Annals of the Parish , have deservedly a secure place. The town of Galt in Canada is named after him.
