Keirs from Scotland

My great grandmother was a Martha Boyd Keirs. Her father was John Boyd Keirs born near Dreghorn. His father was a David Keirs m. Martha Boyd. They were married in ayr. David's father was John Keers. He appears to come from Ireland. I have come across several keirs families in ayrshire. I am particularly interested in the ones from the Benquhat area of Dalmellington. As yet i think they are not connected with the Kilmarnock area. My keirs family were all miners travelling about ayrshire a lot. It is possible there is a connection somewhere.
