caption_attribution_description: English: Sevenacres House as seen from Lylestone Terrace, Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland.
context_page_description: The Lands of Sevenacres known locally as Snacres were originally part of the holdings of Kilwinning Abbey in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The Laird of Sevenacres's residence once stood at what became known as Little Sevenacres on the high ground above the farm of Sevenacres Mains, a short distance from Sevenacres Mill. The name 'Sevenacres' may have derived from the size of the land holding of the mill itself.
context_section_description: The 1856 shows the limestone quarry at Sevenacres. In 1897 and 1909 a narrow gauge 'tramway' route is shown that ran down from the Sevenacres limestone quarry passed Sevenacres Mains and linked with the mineral freight line above Sevenacres Mill that ran down to the Dirrans in Kilwinning. In 1897 it was not operational, however in 1909 the track had been relaid and a crane at Sevenacres was used for transhipment. More recently a Bauxite mine was located near Sevenacres Mill.
