Lairds GaitDavid Wilson HomesAbout East Ayrshire
East Ayrshire is a council area in south-west Scotland, run from Kilmarnock, its main town. Cumnock is the second town, and the smaller towns and villages include Stewarton, Darvel, Galston, Mauchline and Dalmellington. It borders North and South Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire, South Lanarkshire and Dumfries and Galloway.
Robert Burns's Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect was published in Kilmarnock in 1786 and is known as the Kilmarnock Edition, and Mauchline is home to the National Burns Memorial. Textiles, coal and iron drove the 18th and 19th centuries: Kilmarnock made carpets and railway rolling stock, Stewarton bonnets and the Irvine Valley lace. Johnnie Walker whisky began in Kilmarnock, and Loudoun Hill saw a Scottish victory over the English in 1307.
Dean Castle, the 14th-century stronghold of the Boyd family in Kilmarnock, stands in a 200-acre country park and holds collections of arms, armour and early musical instruments. Kilmarnock's Kay Park, in the centre of the town, has the Burns Monument Centre. About two miles west of Cumnock, Dumfries House, a Palladian house built in the 1750s by John and Robert Adam, keeps much of its original furniture, including pieces by Thomas Chippendale.
Kilmarnock station has trains to Glasgow Central and south to Dumfries and Carlisle. The M77 links Kilmarnock with Glasgow, and the A71 towards Edinburgh and the A76 from Dumfries meet at the town.
