Beith is a town in Ayrshire, Scotland.
One of its main claims to fame is that a signatory of the American Declaration of Independence, the Rev. John Witherspoon, was a former minister of its parish.
Dr Henry Faulds, the originator of the forensic use of fingerprinting as a means to identify criminals, was born in Beith in 1843.
It was also home to many world-famous cabinet works, such as Stevenson and Higgins.
