No sawmill listed in Dailly yet.

A sawmill processes raw logs into seasoned timber, sleepers, beams, cladding and firewood - typically working with locally felled hardwoods like oak, ash and beech alongside softwood from managed forestry.

Kiln-dried timber is moisture-controlled for indoor use; air-dried timber suits external work but takes longer to season - ask which you need before ordering.

Many sawmills also stock kindling, hardwood logs by the cube or sack and bespoke milled lengths for joinery or fencing - call ahead for stock, especially in winter.

Dailly is a village in south Carrick, South Ayrshire, set in the valley of the Water of Girvan about five miles south-east of Maybole and three miles east of the ruins of Old Dailly. The Gaelic root of the name - meaning meadow or field - suits the fertile valley farmland that surrounds it.

The present village, sometimes called New Dailly to distinguish it from its predecessor, was laid out in the 1760s as a coal-mining settlement. The local estates of Bargany and Dalquharran had coal workings from at least the 17th century and by the 1830s around 20,000 tonnes a year were being extracted - some exported to Ireland, some used to produce gas for Ayr. A colliery fire in 1849 burned for fifty years. Deep mining continued until the late 1960s.

The valley of the Water of Girvan is attractive walking country and the estates along the river - including Bargany, with its walled garden and woodland - add interest to the landscape. Two ruined castles, Killochan and Dalquharran, are visible in the surrounding farmland and attest to the historical importance of this route through Carrick.

Today Dailly is a quiet rural village with a church, a primary school and a modest range of local amenities. It sits on the B741 road and is served by occasional bus connections to Maybole and Girvan.

South Ayrshire is a council area in south-west Scotland, stretching from the coast at Troon south along the Firth of Clyde to Girvan and Ballantrae and inland across the hills of Carrick to the fringes of Galloway.

Ayr is the administrative centre and largest town, a traditional county town on the River Ayr with a long sandy beach, a racecourse and a busy high street. Prestwick, immediately to the north, is home to Glasgow Prestwick Airport. Troon is known for its championship golf links and harbour, while Girvan and Maybole serve the quieter southern half of the area.

The area is closely associated with Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, who was born at Alloway on the outskirts of Ayr in 1759. Burns Cottage, the Burns Monument and the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum make Alloway one of Scotland's most visited literary landmarks. The Burns connection extends across the wider area through the villages and farms he knew and wrote about.

South Ayrshire's coastline is one of its greatest assets. Long sandy beaches stretch from Troon to Ayr, the views across the Firth of Clyde take in Arran, Ailsa Craig and the Kintyre peninsula and the Carrick coast south of Girvan is rugged and dramatic. Inland, the landscape rises to rolling farmland and the moorland hills that border Dumfries and Galloway.

Transport links are strong along the coast. The A77 connects Ayr and Prestwick to Glasgow, the Ayrshire Coast railway line runs regular services to Glasgow Central and Glasgow Prestwick Airport provides flights to European destinations. The A77 continues south through Girvan toward Stranraer and the ferry port for Northern Ireland.
