Today was Mary-Ann's chance to get into Ayr and do some research for her family tree, including the McGills and Stevensons.
First stop was Morrison's Supermarket on the way to look for a few items

and then progressed to the Kyle car park building in the Town Centre. From there we went to the Information Centre in the Sandgate. To find our way around we could use these two tall towers as landmarks.

Lunch was hot bacon and egg rolls and a coffee.

The main task of the day was to find the library where Mary-Ann could do some of her family research. We crossed the bridge

over the river to Garden Street and found it.

The family history section was upstairs. On the way up we saw this beautiful stained glass window

- note the lady with 6 toes!
The staff there were helpful, especially Tom Bradley. While Mary-Ann did that I read the papers and was able to get online on a library computer.

On the way home it was back to Morrison's to buy something for tea.
