| - Ailsa Craig is a community in western Ontario, just to the north of London, Ontario. It is now part of North Middlesex.
- The Ailsa Craig Motor Co Ltd was founded in Glasgow in 1891 and named after a landmark offshore rock on the western Scottish coastline near to Ayr. Later they were based in Chiswick, London, W4, England. They held the Royal Warrant as suppliers of Marine Motors to King George V. The company was among the first in the UK to build hot-bulb diesel engines, although they dropped them fairly quickly with the advent of direct injection and the start of WW1, when they were required to produce goods for the war effort.

They continued with smaller engines up to the 1960's, but eventually closed down by 1972.
