Ayrshire Directory -
1837 - by Pigot & Co
KILMARNOCK
is a large and important manufacturing town, in the parish of its name, and in
the District of Cunningham; 65½ miles sw of
Edinburgh through
Glasgow, from the
latter city 21½ ssw, 12 n from Ayr, and between 6 and 7 e from
Irvine; situate
on level ground, near the confluence of the Kilmarnock water with the
Irvine.
Two centuries ago, this now thriving and populous town was a mere
hamlet, dependent upon the baronial castle in its neighbourhood. The advantages of the place, as a site for manufactures, were
the presence of coal, healthiness of situation, a populous country around, and
abundance of provisions: for many years and generations, however, it seems to
have been distinguished only for the production of broad flat bonnets, so long
the characteristic wear of the Scottish lowland peasantry, as also the striped
cowls which yet bear the name of the town. As this business increased, the
population augmented; and in the year 1731 the number had swelled so much, that
the parish was found inadequate for its accommodation, and a new one was
erected. Subsequently, and for a
considerable period, the staple manufacture was that of carpets, and in this
branch it yet stands pre-eminant: in 1832 the ascertained product of this
article amounted to £150,000; it is made of every possible kind and texture,
from the plainest to the richest colour and fabrick; a few years since
the Brussels carpet was successfully imitated; and lately a variety, termed the
"three-plie", of extreme beauty and durability, has been introduced.
An extensive trade is carried on in the manufacture of shoes for
exportation - likewise that of leather, for the tanning and dressing of which
there are several highly respectable and large establishments.
There are four very extensive nursery-grounds, two breweries, and the
like number of rope-walks; iron-founding and machine making are important
branches, and there are numerous well-furnished and handsome shops, in the
various occupations usually found in large and populous towns.
One particular description of productive industry and skill seems,
however, of late years, to have outstripped all those before mentioned - namely,
the making and printing of shawls: for, in the year 1832, the amazing number of
1,128,814 of this denomination of garment issued from the manufactories of this
place, amounting in value to upwards of £200,000; and the demand since that
year has greatly increased. The
trade and commerce of Kilmarnock are assisted by branches of the "Ayr
Bank", of the "Ayrshire Banking
Company" and the "Commercial
Bank of Scotland". About half
a mile north-west of the town is an extensive coal-field, from which fuel is
obtained for the works of Kilmarnock, beside large supplies transmitted
continually by railway to Troon, where they are shipped for various places.
There are five incorporated trades, namely, the bonnet-makers, skinners,
tailors, shoe-makers and weavers; the first named is the most ancient - it was
incorporated in 1646. The aspect of the town is agreeable, especially in its
central part, where the streets are regularly laid out, and the greater portion
of the houses are of freestone; it has of late considerably extended to the
south and east, and in these directions has now many elegant edifaces.
The improvements of Kilmarnock are under trustees, nominated by act of
parliament in 1802; these are the provost and magistrates for the time being,
his Grace the Duke of Portland, and several gentlemen also interested in
improving the town; this trust is expected soon to be wound up.
The town-house, built in 1805, contains a court-room for the magistracy,
and public offices, besides a prison for criminals.
In 1814 a superb and commodious news-room was erected in the centre of
the town, serving the double purpose of a reading-room and a place of general
resort. The gas-works were
constructed in 1823, at an expense of from £5,000 to £6,000, defrayed by means
of shares of £10 each, which, to the credit of the inhabitants, were taken up
in the course of a few weeks; the works are under the management of twelve
gentlemen, and a sub-committee of four. Kilmarnock
possesses an excellent academy, in which various branches of education are
taught by able masters; there are, besides, several private seminaries of a high
character, and many schools that impart instruction to children of the poorer
classes. The institutions likewise comprise some well- conducted
societies, amongst which are the procurators' and the merchants', a
philosophical institution, an excellent subscription library, with numerous
benefit clubs and associations. A
very fine observatory, with valuable machinery and telescopes of a superior
description, has been constructed by the inventive genius of Mr Thomas
Morton,
of this town, a self-instructed mechanist, who also originated many important
improvements in the process of carpet-weaving. The civil government is vested in the Provost, four bailies
and eleven councillors; the magistrates preside in their civil and criminal
courts by turns, and the justices sit once a fortnight in what is called the
small debts court. The town joins with Dumbarton,
Port
Glasgow,
Renfrew, and
Rutherglen, in returning one member to parliament. Kilmarnock consists of
two
parishes - the High and the
Low - each containing an established church.
In the latter parish there has been lately erected, in addition, a large
and handsome ediface, connected with the establishment, possessing
accommodations for 1700 persons; the style of architecture is that which
prevailed in England during the latter part of the fourteenth centuary; it is
ornamented with an admirable Gothic tower, and cost £5,000; Messrs
Howie and
Brown, of this town, were the builders. Near
to the church, in King-street, is a very neatly-designed relief church, of
recent erection, with an elegant spire; there are likewise two burgher chapels,
one Cameronian, and one independent, with several other places of worship for
different sects. The most remarkable object in this vicinity is the ruin of
Dean castle - an ancient, extensive, and well defended mansion, formerly the
property of the Earls of Kilmarnock; it stands in a "dean", or hollow,
less than a mile north from the town; it was burnt down in 1735, from the
carelessness of a servant girl, who in preparing some lint for spinning
heedlessly let it catch fire. Kilmarnock
house, another edifaceonce belonging to, and the last residence of, that noble
family, is also in the parish: from this house proceeded the last unfortunate
earl, in 1745, to join the standard of rebellion, which cost him his head.
The Duchess of Portland and the
Marchioness of
Hastings (Countess of
London) are the principal proprietors of this conjoined parish.
The markets, which are held on Tuesday and Friday, are abundantly
supplied with every necessary article of domestic consumption; a market for
grain has also been established of late years, and promises to become of
considerable utility. The fairs are
held in February ("Fastens-even"), first Tuesday in May, third
Wednesday in July (commonly called "the gooseberry fair"), and the
third Wednesday in October - the last three are old style. The
parish of RICCARTON is in the
district of Kyle, lying on the left or south bank
of the Irvine river, which separates it from
Kilmarnock.
The village stands on an eminence, a mile to the south of that town, on
the right bank; but almost connected with Kilmarnock by a long street.
The parish extends about six miles in length, by between two and three in
breadth. The village is remarkable
for having been the residence of the venerable Sir Ronald
Crawford, the maternal
uncle of Wallace, with whom, it is said, the hero sometimes sojourned; and it
was to Riccarton that he generally retired after performing any of his daring
exploits, before he openly unfurled his country's banner.
On revenging the treacherous murder of his uncle and other chieftains, by
burning the barns of
Ayr, he took his way by night to this village, accompanied
by a few followers; when he reached a certain eminence, about six miles from
Ayr, he turned round, and, seeing the flames still ascending, exclaimed with
stern exultation, "the barns burn well!"
From this laconic expression (tradition adds) the spot obtained the name
of "Burn-well", which it still retains.
The church at Riccarton is a modern structure, having been erected in
1823; it has a fine steeple, and from its elevated position has an ornamental
effect upon the country all around. A new bridge across the Irvine is now in progress, which will
materially improve the approach from Ayr road to Kilmarnock.
A considerable quantity of coal is raised in this parish; the Duke of
Portland is the principal landed proprietor. KILMAURS, a small town, a burgh of Barony, and capital of the parish of its name, in the district of Cunningham, two miles from Kilmarnock, is situate on the right bank of a rivulet, called Kilmaur's water, or "Carmel water", it was erected into a burgh of barony by James V , at the insistance of Cuthbert, Earl of Glencairn, and his son, Lord Kilmaurs. The government of the town invested in two bailies (chosen annually by the portioners), before whom debts may be recovered. Kilmaurs is composed principally of one street, in the middle of which is a small town house with a steeple and clock. Formerly this place was somewhat noted for the manufacture of clasp knives , or "whittles" - the sharpness of the edge of which instruments gave rise in Ayrshire to a jocular expression of comparison : a man of acute understanding, and quickness of action, is said to be "as sharp as a Kilmaurs whittle". The most prominent trades now are those of shoemaking and weaving, for the Glasgow and Paisley markets. Coals are mined in the parish, the surface of which consists of large level fields, intersperced with gentle declivities and elevations; the summits of the latter are well wooded, and the whole district has a pleasing appearance. There is an old pile of building near to the church, seemingly of very ancient origin; but with respect to its founder, or the date or object of its erection, even tradition itself is silent. In the cemetery of the Glencairn family, adjacent to the church, is a piece of beautiful sculpture, a specimen of the taste and execution of former times, erected as a monument to the memory of the chancellor, William, the ninth earl. The market, which was for many years held on the Friday, has fallen into disuse; but fairs are held on the 11th of June, 11th of November, and the first Wednesday in August - all old style. Post
