KILBIRKIE AXD .NEIGHBOURHOOD.
jlVlLBlllNIK, or KiLBiRW, is a populous village in • noted for its manufacture of fishing nets, by machinery,
jthat parish, disuict of Cunningham; 61 miles w. by s. ft! r. James Walker being very extensively employed in
from Edinburgh, 20 s.s.vv. of Glasgow, the like r'j stance > that business.

the banks of the Ganrbck, in the heart of a fine emu-
try, and with'ii a mile of ihe loch of Kilbirny, which
extends two miles in length by halt a mile in breadth,
and js well stored with perch, trout and eel. Theimnor-
tance o this village has been greatly augmented ofliate
years by the estaolistHnentof three extensivemit's —
namely, two for ihe spinning ot flux and the mactifar>

[garnoek Iron Works is an extensive concern for the
^manufacture of pig iron, situated a ; )out a mile and a
quarter to the south-east of Kilbirnie. These wo- Us,
Winch employ moie than two thousand persons (in-
cluding those engaged id raising coal foi i he use ni the
Brnact-s), are stipei intended by Mr. John Jack, the
acting manager. The workmen inhabit a ne wly- erected
village, and the company supply thetii with the atces-
jjsaries required from, a store, aid their children with
jinsti in -tion in a. school maintained by them. The Kil-
birnie Iton Foundry is situated near the railway sta-

The old ca-tle of Glengarnock is perhaps one of the
nin-t aiiient, as well as the most stately,ruins in Ayr-
shire. It is supposed tr> have been the residence of the
once famed family of De Woiville, which flourished in
great splendour during the reigns of Alex-tnder 1.,
David I., j\ialco!m IV., and W illiam the Lion; they
he'd the high office of constable of Scotland, and were
[(in - of Galloway and Cunningham. There likewise
exists tin' extenMve njin of t!;e old house of KiJriirnie,
long r he residence of the ancient family of Crawford,
■ if Kilbirnie. Some time after the death of Geortre,
I it« Easi of Crawford, a person came from Ireland,
calling himself John Lindsay Crawford, and assumed
to be heir mare to the title and c-tates. This ciaiai
excited a great sensasion in the country for several
years, but the pretender, being convicted of vitiating
written evidence in support of his assumption, was
transported to Botany Bay for seven years. Upon his
return, however, he renewed his demand3, and a
society of noblemen and gentlemen in London assisted
biin ; but, after a minute and careful iuvestigation.the
claim was decided to be unfounded, and was conse-
quently abandoned. M the present time the estates
of Kilbinne are possessed by the Earl of Glasgow.
Congregations of the Established Church, the .Free
Church, and the reformed Presbvttrians have their
respective temples of worship. The parish of Kil-
hirma contained, in 18.31, 1,541 inhabitants; in 1841,
2,631, and in 1851,3.399.
