 In
1186 Carrick split from Galloway. A celebration of the 800th anniversary
of Carrick becoming an independent part of Scotland brought together
many individuals from all over the south of Ayrshire. A special
ecumenical service was held at Crossraguel Abbey, probably the first
service of any kind in over 300 years and almost certainly the first
with all denominations present. A magnificent pageant was held at Culzean Castle and a group set up to re-enact a famous battle is still
in existence today - strangely enough called the Carrick 800 Battle
Re-enactment Society! Members bring alive Scottish history in their
spare time and tour schools with their re-enactments. Below is the
programme from June of 1987 and other photos of the group. Click on the
