TROON,
DUNDONALD, AND SYMINGTON,
Jl ROON, an improving sea-port in the parish of
Duudonald, is situated 75 miles west of Edinburgh,
6 from Ayr, 9 from Kilmarnock, 31 from Glasgow,
and 6 from Irvine. Under the patronage of the
Duke of Portland this place is making rapid .strides
to become one of some consequence ; ana, as it na-
turally possesses uncommon advantages in having a
fine harbour in which shipping of considerable bur-
den can safely enter, it will, no doubt, arrive in
the course of 'time at the wished for magnitude. —
His Grace has, within t>>e last two or three yearsr,
built a fine wet dock with flood gates, a dry dock for
the repair of vessels, large store houses, and a iight-
house-at the entrance of the harbour ; in short no-
thing has been omitted, which could be expected
from the generous exertions of an opulent noble-
man. The whole has been under the immediate
superintendence of Mr. John Wilson, the duke's
agent. A railway from the extremity of the harbour
goes direct to Kilmarnock, on which immense quan-
tities of coals are brought to be shipped for Ireland,
&c. A large salt manufactory is also carried on
here, with a rope work of some extent. Moreover,
Troon, in the summer season, is visited by nume-
rous families to enjoy the benefit of sea bathing. —
The place of established worship is a chapel of easo
to the parish church at Dundonald, a small village
about four miles distant. There is also a Burgher's
cha,pel, in which a minister preaches occasionally.

WEST KILBRIDE
J.S a pleasant village in the shire of Ayr, and dis-
trict of Cunmnghame, distant from Edinburgh 73
miles, from Glasgow 30, Saltcoats 5, Largs 7, Ir-
vine J2, Greenoek 22, Paisley 24, and Fairlie 5. It
is situated between two ridges of high hills, one of
which protects it from the. sea breezes,. whilst the
other shelters it from ea.'sleily winds. The scenery

around is bold and romantic, and interspersed with
several handsome man.'sicms. The ruins of Law
Castle, and of Portin Cross are in the immediate
vicinity, and are both objects of interest to the anti-
quarian, and the curious. The parish churcli i.s a
structure neat in design, and convenient for the
sacred purpose of divine worsliip. A Burghcr'.s cha-
