	Ayrshire Introduction
		Turnberry is the more likely, as it was the ancestral home of the Countess of Carrick, Bruce's mother, and it is known that she was living there at about the time of the birth.
		To the south of the village are the ruins of Dunure Castle, perched on the coastline.
		Law Castle was built in the 15th century for Princess Mary, sister of James III, on her marriage to Thomas Boyd of Kilmarnock, later to be the Earl of Arran.

		The fact, too, that Bruce made the seizure of Turnberry the first step in that grand series of efforts which ended with Bannockburn, points to his early connection with it.
		While the trust he reposed in his Carrick men, and the care he afterwards showed for the building itself, as well as those wide lands of which Turnberry was then the centre-all point towards this old ruin having a right to be regarded as sacred ground by every Scotsman.
