A lay-by in Muirkirk, by the side of the A70 road, was established to commemorate the history of the east Ayrshire village of Muirkirk. Among the items commemorated (which include John Loudon MacAdam, local poets, miners, Tibbie Pagan, etc.) are the Covenanters. A notice board with information on the local Covenanters can be seen, as well as a cairn commemorating the local martyrs.
