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 lie just outside the town borders, Craigens, Logan and Netherthird, with the former ironworks settlement of Lugar also just outside the town, resulting in a population of around 13000 in the immediate locale. A new property development, Knockroon, was provided planning permission on 9 December 2009 by East Ayrshire Council. This section of Ayrshire has seen human settlement for over 5000 years. It is supposed that a site of worship has actually existed in Cumnock's Square for over 1100 years, though the earliest records begin in about 1275. The patron saint of Cumnock is Saint Conval. James IV created the Burgh of Cumnock. Cumnock housed many miners, as well as functioned as the market town for the other, smaller towns in the area, like Auchinleck, Lugar, Muirkirk, Ochiltree and New Cumnock. The town has a powerful socialist heritage due to its part as a mining centre. The father of the Labour Party, James Keir Hardie, resided in the town for a significant part of his life, and a statue to him rests outside the town hall. A small property 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, as well as lived in the town. William Wallace purportedly 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 probably hung around there.
