Does anyone have a copy of or access to this book, authored by John Strawhorn and published in 1994? An article at Wikipedia cites this book for a statement, which I would like to confirm, to the effect that "the lairds of Lyne had a townhouse in Irvine as did many of the other lairds in Cunninghame". Loretta

Loretta I think that I have seen the same referecne in John Strawhorn's book. I think that you maybe best to contact Jill McCool the Local Studies Librairan at Irvine (Email localhistory@north-ayrshire.gov.uk ) so she can cite you the page number, etc. Mike Boyd Brisbane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loretta Layman" <lynneage@h-o-l.com> To: <AYRSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2010 1:31 AM Subject: [AYR] History of Prestwick > Does anyone have a copy of or access to this book, authored by John > Strawhorn and published in 1994?
