Kincaidston

Kincaidston is a council housing estate in the town of Ayr in south-west Scotland comprised of 659 homes. The estate was built in the 1970s, the streets are named after flowers, for example Iris Court and Honeysuckle Park. Although the main road that runs right around the estate is called Kincaidston Drive. Most of the houses are now privately owned. There is now a major parking problem as the planners underestimated car ownership in the future. Traffic calming road bumps have also been introduced to slow cars on Kincaidston Drive. The Action Group controls most events in the scheme, Finnola Fisher-Leader and Jane Miller-treasurer.
