THE LOCALITY
Gatehead, an old colliers` village lies at or near the junction of several roads, namely the main road to Kilmarnock, Dundonald & Troon, nearby are other roads that run to Symington or Kilmarnock via Old Rome and Earlston, another to Springside, North Ayrshire or Crosshouse via Craig and yet another to Crosshouse, branching off the main Kilmarnock road. The settlement no doubt developed to cater for travellers on these roads and from the railway which was used also by carts and pedestrians as a `toll` road or tramway prior to 1846 The River Irvine forms the boundary with South Ayrshire, previously `Kyle and Carrick`, Parish of Dundonald.
Gatehead is most likely to have been named after the Turnpike road and the toll bar or gate. A `Gatehead Toll Bar` is still marked nearby on the road to Laigh Milton mill and the Craig House estate as late as 1860 on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map of that year. `Gatehead` is apparently first recorded marked on General Roy`s Military Survey map of Scotland (1745-55) and then by Armstrong`s 1775 map. The RCAHMS website records the site of a Toll house at NS 3898 3670.
Laigh Milton viaduct over the River Irvine stands nearby. This is the oldest railway viaduct in Scotland,and one of the oldest in the world.
The Cochrane Inn is likely to have originally been a coaching inn, serving the stagecoach route from Kilmarnock to Troon and Ayr. A milestone near the Crosshouse junction on the main road in 1860 gave Troon as 7 miles and Dundonald 4 miles and another near the junction for Laigh Milton Mill gave Ayr as 10 miles and Kilmarnock as 4 miles.
The railway level crossing has been here since the Kilmarnock and Troon Railway opened in 1811, but as stated, the name `Gatehead` predates the railway. A stable was located hereabouts and the horses pulling the wagons were changed here. Gatehead railway station closed in 1967, having opened with the rest of the line on 6 July 1812. The 1860 OS map shows a milepost indicating Kilmarnock at 4 miles and Troon at 4 miles.
A distillery once existed near Old Rome, although no signs of its existence are now visible. A smithy existed, as marked on the 1880s OS. It was on the left-hand side, just across the bridge from Old Rome. A school existed at Old Rome that may also have been used by pupils from Gatehead.
There is an extensive choice of schooling available in Kilmarnock. Private schooling is available at Wellington in Ayr and in Glasgow
The property is situated within a few miles of the recently up rated and refurbished A77, M77 motorway link and all main arterial routes. This provides easy access for the commuter with links accessing in a Southerly direction towards Ayr and Girvan and the Ayrshire coast and in a Northerly direction toward Glasgow. The West Coast of Ayrshire is only minutes away.
Kilmarnock has a mainline rail station with a comprehensive service to Glasgow and the main west coast line south. Prestwick International Airport has regular and enhanced flight service flights to London, Dublin and the rest of Europe.
Ayr is Ayrshire`s foremost town and as such offers a good range of high street shops, supermarkets, recreational and professional facilities. In addition there are a number of well-renowned restaurants.
Ayrshire is famous worldwide for golf with championship courses at Royal Troon, Prestwick and Turnberry Kilmarnock`s own courses include Caprington and Annanhill.
There is also excellent sailing with yachting marinas at Troon and further up the coast at Largs and Inverkip. Game sports are supported in the region with some of South West Scotland`s finest salmon and trout fishing available in the area`s lochs and rivers.
