CARRICK, the southern division of the shire of Ayr in Scotland. It borders on Galloway; stretches 32 miles in length; and is a hilly country fit for pasturage. The chief rivers are the Stinchar and Girvan, both abounding with salmon. Here are also several lakes and forests, and the people on the coast employ themselves in the herring-fishery, though they have no harbour of any consequence. The only towns of this district are Girvan and Ballantrae; the former at the mouth of the river of the same name, and the latter at the mouth of the Stinchar; and Maybole, an inland town. The Prince of Wales, as Prince of Scotland, is Earl of Carrick.
