Dalry is located between the Caaf Water and the Rye Water tributaries of the River Garnock next to the A737.
 
The word Dalry means "King's Valley". The lands were given to Robert Boyd for his services to Robert the Bruce. The area later became part of the lands of the Earls of Glasgow based at Kelburn.
 
In 1700 there were only six houses in the village. By 1800 it housed around 800 people mainly employed in silk and cotton manufacture. Other industries in the Dalry area included the dressing and spinning of flax.
 
Dalry grew considerably after 1845 with the opening of the Blair Ironworks. With the railway came ironworks, coal mining, brickworks and limeworks. The relics of these industries can still be seen in and around the town.  The town centre was designated as a Conservation Area in 2006.
Dalry provides an ideal introduction to rural Ayrshire with a range of outdoor pursuits for the whole family including walking, cycling and bird watching.
 
The views from higher ground around the town provide panoramic aspects of the Ayrshire coast and beyond.
