DALRYMPLE
jls a small rillagc in Ayrshire, pleasantly situated
on the banks of the Doon, six miles south cast of
Ayr, four from Kirkmichael, five from Maybole,
nine from Straiton, and forty-nine south by west
of Glasgow. The church is of modern architecture.
and was built in the year 1764. There is, it
appears, considerable doubt as to the etymology of
the name amongst aiitiqiiarians ; but it is generally
supposed to have originated from the celebrated
family of the Dali-juiples.

DUNLOP,
In the northern part of the shire of Ayr,
consists chiefly of a single street, and is 17 miles
south west of Glasgow, two and a half from Stew-
arton, eight north north west of Kilmarnock, 20
north of Ayr, eight north east of Irvine, and five
and a half south of Beith. The church is ancient,
having been built in 1641. Though the parish of
Dunlop has long obtained a celebrity for its cheese,
y«t neither is the breed of milch cows better here,
than in the rest of Cunninghame, nor the mode of
making the cheese different. All Ayrshire cheese
goes by the same name, and, throughout, the quality
is remarkably similar. Dunlop, indeed, had the
merit of first bringing this cheese into notice, owing,
it is said, to one Barbara Gilmour, who, about
120 years ago, had acquired in Ireland a particular
knowledge of making cheese from the whole milk,
instead of skimmed riiilk, which, till then, had been
the usual practice in this part of the country.
Hallow fair is among the best in Cunuinghame,
especially for dairy stock.
