Alloway (Scottish Gaelic: Allmhaigh) is a village and suburb of Ayr on the River Doon, in Scotland. It is best known as the birthplace of Robert Burns, and is also where he set Tam o' Shanter. The ruined Alloway Kirk or "Auld Kirk" as the locals call it, features in the poem--as the scene of the witches' dance--as does the local Brig o'Doon, where the witch chased Tam O' Shanter over the bridge, but pulled the tail off his horse half-way across, as witches cannot cross water.

A style of car body which was originated and produced by Alloway.
