Kilmarnock (Cill Mhearnáig in Scottish Gaelic, and Killie locally) is a large burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland, with a population of about 60,000. It is roughly between Glasgow and Ayr.
Origins
The name comes from the Gaelic cille (kirk) and the name of Saint Marnoch or Mernoc who is also remembered in the name of Portmarnock in Ireland. It is believed by some that the saint founded a church there in 322. There are 12 Church of Scotland congregations in the town, plus other denominations. In 2005 the Rev David W. Lacy, minister of the town's Henderson Church, was elected Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Early Development
The core of the early town appears to have lain around what is now the Laigh Kirk (Low Church), although the oldest parts of the current building are no earlier than the 17th century, extending north and northwest. A comparatively modest settlement until the industrial revolution, Kilmarnock extended considerably from around 1800 onwards. This resulted in formal, planned developments such as King Street, Portland Street, St. Marnock Street, and John Finnie Street - the last often suggested as one of the finest Victorian planned streets in Scotland. For a time the Finnie family had a controlling interest in the allocation of shops to tenants in John Finnie Street. This system worked well and ensured that only 'quality' retailers were allowed to operate in John Finnie Street. In modern times, however, Kilmarnock's center of gravity has shifted a couple of streets eastward. Further, the Finnies no longer have a say on the management of the street and this has led to a proliferation of fast food outlets and an overall deterioration in the quality of shops.
