Old Photograph Kilmaurs Scotland
Old photograph of Kilmaurs, East Ayrshire, Scotland. Kilmaurs was known as the hamlet of Cunninghame until the 13th century. The Parish church, Saint Maurs, now St Maurs-Glencairn, dates from 1170. Kilmaurs was once noted for its cutlery, shoe and bonnet workshops, and there were iron and coal mines in the neighbourhood. A hanger is a type of hunting sword, the only remaining Scottish example of which was made in Kilmaurs; it is in the keeping of the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow.
