Dailly ({{langx|gd|Dail Mhaol Chiarain}}){{cite web|url=http://www2.smo.uhi.ac.uk/gaidhlig/faclair/sbg/lorg.php?faclair=sbg&seorsa=Beurla&facal=dailly&eis_saor=on&tairg=Lorg&faic_tus=on |title=An Stòr-dàta Briathrachais |language=gd |access-date=7 March 2010}} is a village in South Ayrshire, Scotland. It is located on the Water of Girvan, {{convert|5|mi|km|0|abbr=off|spell=on}} south of Maybole, and {{convert|3|mi|km|0|abbr=off|spell=on}} east of Old Dailly. "New Dailly", as it was originally known, was laid out in the 1760s as a coal-mining village. In 1849 a fire broke out in Maxwell Colliery, one of the nearby mines, and continued to burn for 50 years. In Dailly there are two castles which the locals call the new castle and the old castle; they are both derelict.
