Dunaskin’s special architectural and historic interest focusses on the range of buildings dating from both the ironworks and later brickwork phases of development. Waterside is located in the Doon Valley, approximately 11 miles southeast of Ayr, some two miles from Patna and Dalmellington. The village is dominated by the former Iron Works and Brickworks site, previously operated as a national heritage centre by the Dalmellington and District Conservation Trust. The whole of the village is designated as a conservation area, because of its industrial archaeological importance. The former Ironworks site is also designated by the Scottish Government as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Brick – the bulk of the industrial-era properties are formed from brickwork which appears to have been manufactured on-site and is a fairly consistent dark red, high quality brick. The use of brick for the terraces is unusual and a strong reminder of the industrial history of the site.

Generally, the rivers that drain the county flow south and west from the rim of the bowl, converging towards the coast in a series of broad valleys – those of the rivers Garnock, Annick, Irvine, Ayr and Doon. The area is popular with residents, commuters and tourists with attractions including the Doon Valley narrow gauge railway. Ayrshire is separated from the neighbouring Central Belt counties of Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire by a belt of basaltic lavas that form a distinct band of raised uplands to the north and east. Within the bowl formed by these surrounding hills are Carboniferous rocks, both limestones and coal measures, overlaid around the Mauchline area by Permian sandstones.
