Cumnock

Cumnock is a town in East Ayrshire, Scotland. The town sits at the convergence of the Glaisnock Water and the Lugar Water. There are 3 neighbouring property ventures which exist just outside the town borders, Craigens, Logan and Netherthird, with the former ironworks settlement of Lugar also just outside the town, contributing to a population of around 13000 in the immediate region. A brand-new housing project, Knockroon, was given planning permission on 9 December 2009 by East Ayrshire Council. This area of Ayrshire has seen human settlement for over 5000 years. It is believed 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 formed the Burgh of Cumnock. Cumnock housed lots of miners, plus functioned as the market 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 role as a mining centre. The father of the Labour Party, James Keir Hardie, lived in the town for a large part of his life, and a statue to him sits outside the town hall. A small property scheme in the town (Keir Hardie Hill) is named after him. The popular left-wing politician Emrys Hughes was regional MP for a time in the mid-20th century, and also resided 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 thought to have probably hung around there.
