a district of Ayrshire in Scotland, the limits of which are erroneously stated in the account which is given of that county. There are three districts in Ayrshire, Carrick to the south, Kyle in the middle, and Cunningham to the north. Carrick is divided from Kyle by the river Doon, and not by the river Ayr as has been noted by mistake; the boundaries of Kyle are the river Doon on the south, and the river Irvine on the north. See Ayrshire.
