It is located on the Water of Girvan, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Maybole, and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of Old Dailly. "New Dailly", as it was originally known, was laid out in the 1760s as a coal-mining village. In 1849 a fire broke out in Maxwell Colliery, one of the nearby mines, and continued to burn for 50 years.
