Etimologi
Recorded as Loans , Lones , or Lons , the name of the village may have no relationship with the loan and comes from a green loan or loan (piece of soft land, rough around Bushie and Craiksland Burns, who join each other at the foot of the old gardens at Crossburn. 'Loans' can easily refer to 'paths' and therefore are common placename elements, which are particularly suitable for Loans, which are at crossroads. Prior to the field encloser, the lending or the remaining grass lanes flowing through the cultivable part of the farm or farm, linking it to the common grazing land of clachan, serve both as pastures and driving trails. A lon can mean loan of the land granted by the king, from which income is earned to benefit the establishment or only the Land of King Robert.

History
During the feudal period, Robertloan House and Hillhouse are chairs of a local nest. Exhibitions are held here in June and October each year. In 1806, five small establishments consisted of Loan settlement.
A school was established in Darley before 1840, but was closed in 1866. In 1877, a school was built in the village itself. Teachers include Miss Jessie A. Meikle, Miss Shaw, Miss Baird, and Miss Martha Meikle.
Some of the old houses on Loans are slightly better than smuggling safes, have double walls and many items from Isle Man and Northern Ireland end up hidden in the village. The entire loan, especially in the dunes, is a 'brandy pit', into a large hole the size of the room used to store branded barrels.
Smithy village was once located on the main road, like the post office.
The name Corseburn was first recorded during the Highway Act of 1835. Crossburn Bridge is located on a highway formation, built on what had previously been paraded from the Craiksland or Sculloch Burn across the highway as a ford until Corseburn or Crossburn Bridge was built.
Victims of Loans, at the foot of Crossburn Avenue began to be used during the early years of the 18th century. There are two toll blocks, both made of pine wood. These gates are rented together or as separate entities. Village Toll added to their income by selling whiskey and ale.
Cartographic evidence
Map of Blaeu in 1654 shows the name of the "Lons" settlement In 1747 Loans were marked with four parcels of land and a shelter covered with Scallachmill near the road from Fullarton to Irvine. In 1775 Loans were shown as a group of buildings in Irvine to Ayr road by road now also running to Dundonald. With the 1832 Loan indicated by the toll and two additional roads, both of them run to Troon and the beach. The 1857 OS map shows a number of buildings at Sculloch Mill, Robertloan House, and two toll-free bars and homes. In 1897 schools and blacksmiths were shown with a baby's room with a greenhouse set up near the crossroads.
Robertloan
Robertland was originally home to Claudan medieval loan, Robertloan became the old name for the Loan. Robertloan House in the center of the village is the home of William Dickie, the last of the lairds who were selling the property to the Duke of Portland in 1861. Later associated with the Guthrie family, Robertloan was the headquarters of the Kilmarnock Dairy Institute in 1906.
Leprosy
In the 14th century Robert the Bruce was considered to have suffered from leprosy, psoriasis or some other skin diseases and was considered to have drunk from the river at Prestwick's "Wells of Preswick". The obvious healing effect of water causes him to build a lazy house, or hospital for lepers. The King blessed the establishment with income from the Land of Loans, ensuring its survival. The villagers of Loan were asked to support eight lepers, each of whom should, annually, "eight bolls eat and eight merks". Food for lepers was milled near Sculloch Mill.
When the leprosy hospital was closed and in the 1730s the endowment was taken over by the Wallaces of Craigie, which continued to fulfill its obligations, but was later bought by a writer from Edinburgh with judicial sales, selling it to judge from Ayr for à £ 300, which used it for providing for Ayr's poor home residents. By the end of 1882, three farmers at Robertloan accepted responsibility for these ancient taxes, and returned all food and merchandise valuations to their tenants and employees. Immortal funds continue to be paid to the poor in Ayr and Prestwick until 1924, although leprosy has long disappeared in Scotland.
Archeology
A stone or an ax seller is found in a ditch on Loan. Old field boundaries and remnants of rigs and grooves have been found on Loans. In the 1970s gray flakes were found on hijacked ground and over forty patented and non-coated blades were found nearby. Earthwork is present (NS352323) in the nearest field, but has been almost entirely hijacked. Perhaps from the rectangular plan it is probably a medieval homestead settlement with a moat.
Fort Wardlaw Hill on Clevens Hill is highest located on Loan to Dundonald Road. It is formed from round circles and trenches. A mound in the center was once a triangulation station of the Tata Tata Lempana.
Micro-history
Highgrove Hotel, formerly known as Dallam Towers, is located nearby on the road to Dundonald.
Crossburn House is dated 1832 at the stone gate pier. The rear wing is probably the 18th century.
The Old Loans Inn is a renovated training inn in 2009 and now provides hotel accommodation and fine dining.
An old cheese press stone is used as a mounting block and is still located outside the old post office.
