The current church, the third on the site, was built in 1802. The first church was built in the 17th century and was replaced in 1750, then there was a terrible accident in 1801 when parts of the church collapsed on the larger than usual congregation. It is mentioned by Robert Burns in his poems, so thought that he visited. There are Covenanters graves in the churchyard, and the beautiful stained glass windows are worth admiring. In normal circumstances you can visit between 12 and 2 pm Mon, Wed, Fri. The wee statue of Johnnie Walker is just outside

Some friends and I did the cook school @ home class last night and it was great! The Chef Stewart explained everything really well and answered all the questions clearly, all the ingredients were lovely and fresh, the portions were very generous and the food tasted amazing. Really good value for money and a great night in with friends! Also now have a 3 course dinner party meal I can recreate!

Fabulous building which houses an array of historical artefacts, natural history, art, books and a cafe. A great way to spend a rainy day. Free entry - there’s a donation box for you to contribute if you can. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Went to see main gallery exhibition - check the East Ayrshire Leisure site to see what’s on and when - on loan from the V&A. Was inspired by the work on display in the Young Peoples Gallery which was show casing work from east Ayrshire school pupils. If you head upstairs there’s loads more to see - Burns, Johnny Walker, the Loom Room and (at the moment) interesting pieces of armour from the Dean Castle collection.
