Kincaidston
Kincaidston is a housing scheme in the town of Ayr in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The estate borders Belmont to the north, Alloway to the west and the A77 to the south and east.
History
The estate was built in the 1970s. It was built by Kyle and Carrick District Council and Digital Equipment Corporation to house workers for a nearby factory development. The estate remains partly in council hands although many of the houses are now privately owned. Most of the streets are named after flowers apart from Kincaidston Drive, the estate's main road.Prior to development, Kincaidston was a farm on the outskirts of Ayr. During World War I, a Sopwith Camel crashed at the farm, killing the pilot, Captain Victor George Anderson Bush, who had been based at No.1 School of Aerial Fighting at Turnberry.
