The population in 1840 was 10, 779. Irvine is remarkable for having been the temporary residence of Bums, and the birth-place of James Montgomery the poet, and John Gait the novelist. After leavng Irvine, a view is obtained, on the left, of the remains of the ancient castle of Dundonald, stand- ing on an elevated po'feition, about two miles distant. The situation of this castle, on the top of a beautiful hill, is sin- gularly noble. It was the property of Robert Stewart, who, in right of his mo...ther, Marjory Bruce, succeeded to the Scottish throne under the title of Robert II. Here he wooed and married his first wife, the beautiful Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan, and here he died in 1390. This castle gives the title of Earl to the noble family of Cochrane. The estate passed into the hands of the Earl of Eglinton in the beginning of last century ; but the castle, along with the hill on which it stands, and five roods of adjoining land, still belong to the Earl of Dundonald. In the vicinity of Dun- donald Castle are the remains of an ancient church dedicat- ed to the Virgin, called Our Lady's Kirk.
