was a
County Constituency of the
House Of Commons of the
Parliament Of The United Kingdom from 1950 to 2005. It elected one
Member Of Parliament (MP) by the
First Past The Post system of
Election .
The constituency was created by merging the
Ayr Burgh and
Prestwick Burgh components of the
Ayr District Of Burghs constituency with parts of the
South Ayrshire and
Kilmarnock constituencies.
After the
1992 General Election , the boundaries in Ayr Constituency were substantially altered in a move which saw the suburbs of
Alloway and Doonfoot being transferred to the
Carrick, Cumnock And Doon Valley constituency. This change led to a substantial alteration in the demographic of the constituency with the
Labour Party being the main beneficiaries.
In 2005 the constituency was divided between the new
Central Ayrshire and
Ayr, Carrick And Cumnock constituencies.
The
Scottish Parliament Constituency Of Ayr , which was created in 1999, continues in existence unaltered.
