Today it is a largely white harled small village set amid the rolling hills of <a href="/wiki/South_Ayrshire" title="South Ayrshire">South Ayrshire</a>, a 10-mile (16 km) drive south of central <a href="/wiki/Ayr" title="Ayr">Ayr</a>. </p><p>Its origins date back to the 13th century when John de Gemmelstoun founded a church beside the Dyrock Burn here, which he dedicated to St. Michael. For much of its early life the village was called Kirkmichael of Gemilston, after its founder, but the name was eventually simplified. </p><p>The village church dates back to 1787 and is a fairly typical T-plan design intended to provide a large number of seats within a fairly small space, all exposed to the full force of the preacher's oratory. </p><p>The surrounding churchyard reflects its much greater age, though the attractive lich gate leading to it only dates back to 1702, according to the inscription on its bell. The lich gate was intended to accommodate mourners at funerals. </p><p>Kirkmichael focuses on two intersecting streets, largely occupied by white cottages built for hand-weavers in the 1790s. The most unusual building is the red stone McCosh Hall in Patna Road. This serves as the village hall and in 1898 was gifted to the village by <a href="/wiki/James_McCosh" title="James McCosh">James McCosh</a>, President of <a href="/wiki/Princeton_University" title="Princeton University">Princeton University</a>, whose family came from this part of Ayrshire. At the junction of Patna Road and Straiton Road lies the white-painted Kirkmichael Arms, a long one-storey village inn. </p><p>It has a pub, a restaurant and one post office. </p><p>Kirkmichael House on the south west side of the village is a Scottish baronial mansion dating from the 17th century. It was originally the home of the noble <a href="/wiki/Marquess_of_Ailsa" title="Marquess of Ailsa">Kennedy family</a>, before becoming a miners' welfare home and a boarding school.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Notable_people">Notable people</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kirkmichael,_South_Ayrshire&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Notable people"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/John_McCosh" title="John McCosh">John McCosh</a>, army surgeon and photographer, the earliest war photographer whose name is known.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Samuel_McGaw" title="Samuel McGaw">Samuel McGaw</a>, recipient of the <a href="/wiki/Victoria_Cross" title="Victoria Cross">Victoria Cross</a>.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Willet" title="John Willet">John Willet</a>, engineer.
