Cumnock is a town in East Ayrshire, Scotland. The town sits at the junction of the Glaisnock Water and the Lugar Water. There are 3 neighbouring housing ventures which sit just outside the town borders, Craigens, Logan and Netherthird, with the one-time ironworks settlement of Lugar also just outside the town, adding to a population of around 13000 in the immediate locale. A brand-new housing project, Knockroon, was given planning permission on 9 December 2009 by East Ayrshire Council. This part of Ayrshire has seen human settlement for over 5000 years. It is supposed that a site of worship has existed in Cumnock's Square for over 1100 years, though the earliest records start in about 1275. The patron saint of Cumnock is Saint Conval. James IV established the Burgh of Cumnock. Cumnock housed lots of miners, plus served as the marketplace town for the other, smaller towns in the area, like Auchinleck, Lugar, Muirkirk, Ochiltree and New Cumnock. The town has a strong socialist legacy due to its role as a mining centre. The father of the Labour Party, James Keir Hardie, lived in the town for a significant part of his life, and a statue to him rests outside the town hall. A small housing plan in the town (Keir Hardie Hill) is named after him. The popular left-wing politician Emrys Hughes was local MP for a time in the mid-20th century, as well as lived in the town. William Wallace supposedly spent 3 months in the seat of Patrick Dunbar, according to the poem, 'The Wallace', by Blind Harry. Cumnock is also in the heart of Robert Burns country and the poet is supposed to have likely spent time there.
