	Fingerposts
		It is curious that 14 of the fingerposts surviving in Ayrshire are in Carrick.
		This exercise, which was initiated by the Rural Affairs Committee of South Ayrshire Council, is part of a wider programme which includes the repainting of milestones, of which there are many in the district.
		One small plea might be entered: if the necessity arises to replace any more of the old fingers, let type 1 fingers be replaced in the style of type 1, and type 2 in the style of type 2, and the text of the originals be retained.

	Bridges
		Since the intended new road was not included in the current turnpike act for the county, the trustees had to ensure that none of the existing roads in the district would suffer from a diversion of resources.
		The spare funds of the Carrick district were therefore ample to finance the remaining two and a half miles; no new debt was needed by which their income "would be forestalled and locked up".
		In 1798 the Ayrshire commissioners of supply granted £53:10s "to build a bridge over the water of Girvan at Drumgirnan", from which it appears that the greater part of the cost was borne by the local landowners, and in particular by Sir Adam Fergusson.
