In 1937 the Scottish Dairy School moved from Holmes Farm in Kilmarnock to Auchincruive outside Ayr, and the town Council bought the college building for a Maternity Hospital. It opened the same year, and was used till 1987. Since 1991 it has been used as a centre for the handicapped, renamed “Strathlea”.
