About Kilmarnock - show infohide info
Kilmarnock is a large burgh in Scotland, in the county of East Ayrshire. The town has a population of approximately 60,000 inhabitants, and lies roughly halfway between Glasgow and Ayr. The name Kilmarnock comes from the Gaelic 'cille' or 'kirk', and the name of St. Marnoch, as it is believed he founded a church in 322 AD. The core of the early town lies mainly around what is now the Laigh Kirk, or low church, though the oldest parts of this building are not earlier than the 17th century. Up until the industrial revolution, Kilmarnock was a modest and unimportant town, however by the 1800's the town expanded rapidly, and gave rise to a number of planned developments, which include John Finnie street, suggested to be one of Scotland's finest Victorian planned streets. Kilmarnock's traditional industries were carpets (manufactured by BMK) and textiles, as well as railway locomotives (Andrew Barclay and Sons) and valves. Shoes have also been manufactured in the town. The Glasgow and South Western Railway also set up their works here, producing nearly 400 locomotives by the time it was absorbed by the LMS in 1923. Some work continued but heavy repairs were sent to St Rollox. Locomotive repairs finished in 1952 and the works closed in 1959. Kilmarnock had one of the earliest tramways in the world, which ran to Troon over the (now restored) Laigh Milton Viaduct. the carpets made here were world famous, and were used on the RMS Titanic. BMK only closed in 2005 as people choose to use laminated wood in many homes. Also in the town is the Johnny Walker distillery and HM Prison Kilmarnock, which is the first privately run prison in Scotland. The town is also home to Kilmarnock FC, known as the 'Killie'. The club is the oldest professional club in Scotland. Kilmarnock is served by rail, and sees trains between Glasgow Central and Stranraer/Carlisle/Ayr/Girvan. Nearby towns to Kilmarnock include Irvine, Troon, Prestwick, Ayr, Ardrossan, Saltcoats, Glasgow, Motherwell, Hamilton, East Kilbride and Paisley.
