Background
History
A circa 1604 map shows a 'Swinmikmeur'. The name 'Swanrig' is given on the 1747 Roy's Map In 1821 the name is given as 'Swinerigemoor', 'Swindridgemuir' in 1828, and in 1832 on John Thomson's map as 'Swindridgmuir'. Swans, Swine and Whin are therefore possible elements of the placename at different times. The name 'Swinridgemuir' is used in the 19th century and 'Swindridgemuir' is found on the 20th-century family gravestone at Barnweill Kirk and 'Swindrigemuir' at the family's burial ground at Ayr Auld Kirk.
