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.
