St John's Tower, Ayr

St John's Tower is a 15th century addition to the original 1300 Kirk of Ayr.
It was here that the Parliament and nobility of Scotland passed the crown of Scotland to Robert Bruce.


From slightly further away. The tower formed a significant part of the Ayr Citadel, built by
Oliver Cromwell to enable him to control this part of Scotland.


Looking from the south, near Wellington Square, with the River Ayr, Prestwick, Dundonald Hill and
Troon in the distance.
