Mauchline history
In 1165, Walter fitz Alan, Steward of Scotland, granted a charter giving land to the Cistercian monks of Melrose. In those days the parish extended to the border with Lanarkshire at Glenbuck. The monks built an abbey, the ruins of which still exist and are known as Hunters Tower. Mauchline was created a burgh of barony by James IV in 1510.
Scottish Reformation
In 1544 George Wishart, an influential Protestant preacher, visited Mauchline to find the doors of St Michael’s church barred against him . His reaction to this was to preach for over three hours to a large congregation, under the watchful eye of the Sheriff of Ayr and an armed force . John Knox also preached in the town in 1599 after his return from exile in France and Switzerland .
Trade
The village has at some point been a centre for quarrying sandstone, clock making, box-work, and the production of curling stones .
