Kilmarnock
Like many former industrial towns in South West Scotland,
Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire has an array of buildings in different
architectural styles that tell the history of the town. As well as
mixed vernacular designs in homes across Kilmarnock, the town has
many examples of Neo-Classical archtecture, as seen in the porticos
and pillars of The Dick Institute and the neighbouring War
Memorial. In the post-war period, the need for housing also brought
modernist and brutalist buildings for workplaces and homes across
the town. Furthermore, the town's Dean Castle, with its history
spanning centuries, has stood through many architectural
styles in its ruin and many restorations and additions.
