Edit A brief history of Maybole
Maybole has a long and proud history, Here are just some of the major dates in the history of the town.

c1240 - Crossraguel Abbey founded
1516 - Maybole named royal burgh
1777 - Culzean Castle opened
1845 - First Carrick Academy founded
1860 - Maybole railway station opened
Now it's your turn!
That's the briefest of brief summaries, and hardly covers the most important dates. But this is where you come in. There's lots of interest in local history and lots of local knowledge out there - so why not share it here? To add to the time-line, all you have to do is click on the edit button.
Or perhaps you'd like to start your own article about another aspect of Maybole history? You can do that, too. There must also be a wealth of wonderful photographs of old Maybole - maybe even some video of more recent events - and those are more than welcome here.
Post it all here, and let's see if we can really chronicle the history of Maybole in a way we can all share!
