In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Ayton like this:
Ayton, coast par. and vil., in co. and 7¼ miles NW. of Berwick by rail -- par., 6699 ac., pop. 2040; vil., pop. 771; P.O., T.O., 2 Banks. Market-day, Thursday. The seat of Ayton Castle, built on site of historical ancient fortalice, is here, and in the neighbourhood traces of several ancient camps may be observed.
Ayton is now part of SCOTTISH BORDERS Council. Click here for graphs and data of how SCOTTISH BORDERS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Ayton itself, go to Statistics.
