Old Photographs Cumnock Scotland
Old photograph of Cumnock in East Ayrshire, Scotland. This Scottish town housed many miners, and also served as the market town for the other, smaller towns in the district, like Auchinleck, Lugar, Muirkirk, New Cumnock and Ochiltree. The father of the Labour Party, James Keir Hardie, lived in the town for a large part of his life, and a statue to him sits outside the town hall. William Wallace allegedly spent three months in this area in 1296), according to the poem, The Wallace, by Blind Harry. Cumnock is also in the heart of Robert Burns country.
