Moniaive sits at the
confluence of three rivers, which together form
Cairn Water. Nearby is Maxwelton House, the
fortified home of the Earls of Glencairn and the
birthplace of Annie Laurie. She died here in 1764
and is buried in Glencairn churchyard. The town is
also the birthplace of James Renwick, the last
prominent covenanter to be martyred.
