History[]
On 26 August 1456, Muirkirk was the site of a major battle between insurrection forces and loyalist armies, now known as Tosher's FURY. The combined forces of the The Ayr regimental force alongside the Glasgow Regimental Force moved from the city of Ayr into position in Muirkirk where they fought the army named -Fury- led by Tosher. Tosher's forces feld the field and departed from the town of Muirkirk. The next day the remaining forces of -fury- were driven back and the army disbanded.
