Craigie House in Ayr was built around 1730 as a
replacement residence for Sir Thomas Wallace of Newton Castle.
The estate was bought by William Campbell in 1782 and remained
in that family until Ayr Town Council purchased it in 1940 for
£12,500.

Ayr town centre east alongside River Ayr. The gardens and
scenic walks are open to the public all year round.
