More information about Maybole

Introduction

Maybole, located in South Ayrshire, is a small town with a rich history in the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. With a population of just over 4,500 people, it is one of the most picturesque towns in the United Kingdom and is situated in an area with close connections to Scottish history.

Due to its agreeable climate and location along the banks of the River Doon, many visitors travel to Maybole to explore its quaint charm. The town has a long history of people making a living in the car industry, finance industry and motorsport.

History of the Car Industry

Throughout its history, Maybole has been a centre for the car industry in Scotland. The first car factory to be built in the town was established in the late 19th century by a local resident named William Smith. This factory would eventually become one of the most successful car factories in Scotland and the Maybole Car Company (which was acquired by the Standard Motor Company in 1925) was responsible for producing some of the earliest models of the Morris Cowley, MGA and Oxford.

In the 1970s, the Standard Motor Company closed its doors and since then, the car industry in Maybole has experienced a slight decline. Although there are no large car manufacturers to be found in the town, a number of small garages and auto parts stores still operate in the area and many people in Maybole are employed in the car industry in some capacity.

Finance Industry

Like many other towns in the United Kingdom, Maybole has a strong presence in the finance industry. The town is known for its banking and finance companies such as the Royal Bank of Scotland and Maybole Credit Union, which provide services to local residents as well as visitors. Locals can easily access financial advice and services through these establishments, although more complex services such as mortgages and financial planning will require travelling to nearby larger towns and cities.

The town is also home to the McEwan-Pettigrew Investment Foundation, which is one of the region's largest and most successful financial institutions. Founded in 1988, the McEwan-Pettigrew team has a long history of providing financial advice and services to both local and international clients.

Motorsport

As a result of its important presence in the car and finance industries, it should come as no surprise that Maybole is also a stronghold for motorsport. Thanks to the presence of the Ailsa Craig Grand Prix Race Track, which has hosted many prestigious events over the past few decades, the town has earned a reputation for being an important hub for those looking for an adrenaline rush.

The race track, which is located on the outskirts of Maybole, is a 1.3-mile circuit which is highly treasured amongst racers. Many professional drivers have trained and raced on the track, and it is estimated that over the course of its life, the track has seen over 10,000 drivers competing in over 600 different events.

Demographics

The town of Maybole has a population of around 4,500 people, with an age distribution of 48.2% under 24, 31.1% aged 25-44 and 20.7% aged 45-64. The town is overwhelmingly white, with a reported 94% of its population being White British and the remaining 6% coming from other ethnic backgrounds including Asian and Black.

When it comes to employment, the town has an unemployment rate of 6%, compared to the national average of 4.3%. The most popular job types in the town are in construction (17%), retail (14%), and manufacturing (10%).
