Cumnock
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 property projects which are found just outside the town perimeters, Craigens, Logan and Netherthird, with the one-time ironworks settlement of Lugar also just outside the town, resulting in a population of around 13000 in the immediate locale. A brand-new property development, Knockroon, was given planning permission on 9 December 2009 by East Ayrshire Council. This part of Ayrshire has actually seen human settlement for over 5000 years. It is supposed that a place 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 formed the Burgh of Cumnock. Cumnock housed lots of miners, as well as served as the marketplace town for the other, smaller sized towns in the district, like Auchinleck, Lugar, Muirkirk, Ochiltree and New Cumnock. The town has a strong socialist heritage due to its function as a mining centre. The father of the Labour Party, James Keir Hardie, resided in the town for a large part of his life, and a statue to him rests outside the town hall. A small housing scheme in the town (Keir Hardie Hill) is named after him. The popular left-wing political leader Emrys Hughes was regional MP for a time in the mid-20th century, and also lived in the town. William Wallace allegedly 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 alleged to have likely spent time there.
