The ancient lands of Willowyard Willieyeards Williyard or Willizeards were part of the holdings of the Regality of Kilwinning Barony of Beith and Bailiary of Cuninghame. They later became the property of the Montgomerie family before being sold to the Simson family in 1723. The manor house still survives as part of a business premises and the nearby industrial estate and whisky bond carry the name ‘Willowyards’.
