Mauchline
Mauchline is a town and also civil parish in East Ayrshire, Scotland. In the 2001 census Mauchline had a recorded population of 4,105. The community lies by the Glasgow as well as South Western Railway line, 8 miles (13 km) east south eastern of Kilmarnock and also 11 miles (18 kilometres) north eastern of Ayr. It is positioned on a gentle slope about 1 mile (1.6 km)) from the River Ayr, which moves via the south of the church of Mauchline. In previous days Loch Brown was about 1 mile west of the community, but was drained when the railway line from Kilmarnock was developed. Bruntwood Loch, near the old laird's home of that name, was when an essential site for waterfowl, however drained for farming in the eighteenth century.
