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