Churchill Barracks

Churchill Barracks was a military installation in Ayr, Scotland.

History
The barracks were built on the South side of Ayr Harbour in 1795. They became the depot of the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1873 and were renamed Churchill Barracks in honour of Winston Churchill, a former Commanding Officer of a battalion of the Regiment, in 1942 during the Second World War. The Regiment amalgamated with the Highland Light Infantry to form the Royal Highland Fusiliers at Redford Barracks in Edinburgh in 1959. The buildings were demolished in 1967 and the site was converted for use as The Citadel Leisure Centre.
