Kilmarnock is the second largest town in Ayrshire


and the 15th most populated place in Scotland.


The Kilmarnock Water passes through it


- giving rise to the name 'Bank Street'.


The first collection of work by Robert Burns,


"Poems, chiefly in the Scottish dialect",


was published in Kilmarnock in 1786,


and became known as the Kilmarnock volume.


Kilmarnock is home to Kilmarnock Academy,


one of only two state schools in the world


that have educated two Nobel Prize laureates,


 Alexander Fleming for the discovery of Penicillin


  and John Boyd Orr, 1st Baron Boyd-Orr for his research on Nutrition
