- The agricultural editor for over forty years was James Drennan (c.1818-1892), a practical farmer and land valuer, who championed many agricultural improvements through the pages of the Advertiser. *::[‘Perhaps the most important regular correspondent was James Drennan of Auchinlee, who for forty years in the second half of the 19th Century reported experiments and improvements in tillage, breeding, farm implements and particularly early potato culture.’ [Ayr Advertiser, Thursday 6th August 1953, 1c]]
