Good solid article, but falls down on lack of citations, plus a map and more pictures would be useful. Possible improvement to layout also needed. Therefore a B-class just now, and low importance in terms of Wikiproject Scotland Franko2nd 15:19, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Scotland To-do:

Is the population 60,830 or 46,431? The info box at the side says the lower number and the opening paragraph says the larger.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.206.14.47 (talk • contribs).

The 2001 census data says 46,431 - the higher figure most likely includes the wider Ayr area rather than just the town itself. I have changed the figure to match the infobox number. SFC9394 16:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ayr College

The page says it was also called Ayr Technical College, at one time it was also called Craigie College if I'm not mistaken. Douglasnicol 22:26, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fort picture

Beautiful picture of the Fort Ayr: http://ourpasthistory.com/Gallery/albums/album397/THE_FORT_AYR_WINTER_1909.jpg which might be out of copyright and useable (I can't determine myself), but at the least of aesthetic interest to anyone who stumbles by this talkpage :) -- Quiddity (talk) 21:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sister City

It might be worth pointing out that Ayr's sister city is Newnan, Georgia
