A rich heritage waiting to be discovered and enjoyed…
The East Ayrshire town of New Cumnock has a long and interesting
history, with clear links to subjects as varied as Robert Burns,
the Covenanters and junior football. This interactive, the New
Cumnock Timeline and Discovery Quiz, has focussed on key aspects of
this heritage, and was developed by local historians and
schoolchildren.
Just click on the images on the front page to go to the Timeline
- including major events in New Cumnock's history, and 3 trails
based on the kirkyard of the Auld Kirk. You can find out more about
the soldiers, ministers and other locally important families
associated with it or who are buried there. And after you've
explored these 'Auld Kirkyard Trails' why not try the Discovery
Quiz to see what you have learned? Good luck!
