Castle William
The earliest reference to Castle William appears in 1775 on Armstrong’s Map of Ayrshire south of Blackcraig and Craigdarroch at the head of Glen Afton. Here it appears to be shown as a substantial ruin, although it does not appear on the ‘reduced version’ of that map published a few years later in 1783 [Map 2]. Similarly, in 1821 only the name Castle William is given on Ainslie’s Map of Southern Scotland [Map 3].
On the Ordnance Survey Map (1857) the name Castle William is assigned to the largest rock on a rocky landscape.
