Guided Walk: Ayr Auld Kirk

Dublin Core

Title

Guided Walk: Ayr Auld Kirk

Description

The tour will tell the story of the town and its people using the Auld Kirk as its setting. It has an ecclesiastical history dating back to 1230 when the Blackfriars arrived. These mendicant Friars provide us with a link to the Inquisition of the Cathars of the Languedoc, familiar to those who have read the Kate Mosse books: Labyrinth and Sepulchre. The kirkyard allows us to explore the people and stories behind the establishment of the town. From the Town Hangman to the criminals executed, they all lie here. The tour is particularly suited to those with walking difficulties and takes 90 minutes.
