Description
Kilmarnock Through Time explores the rich history and heritage of this Scottish town. For centuries, Kilmarnock was a thriving market town, with its enterprising residents making the most of the local resources available to them.
The town's industrial past is still evident today, from the stone quarries that supplied building materials to the coal mining industry that drove engineering works and businesses like Barclays and Glenfield & Kennedy. The town also played a significant role in the development of various crafts, including woollen industries, carpet making, leather crafting, and shoe making.
Whisky production was another key industry, with one firm eventually dominating world sales. This affectionate look at Kilmarnock's past people and events offers a nostalgic glimpse into what makes the town its unique character today.
