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 housing projects which lie just outside the town perimeters, 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 housing project, Knockroon, was provided 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 place of praise 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 created the Burgh of Cumnock. Cumnock housed a large number of miners, plus served as the marketplace town for the other, smaller towns in the area, 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, resided 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 political leader Emrys Hughes was regional MP for a time in the mid-20th century, as well as 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 said to have likely spent time there.
