Sketches of Old Kilmarnock by William Smellie
The creator of this sketch, Old Houses, Titchfield
Street, was himself an architect. Born in Partick, Glasgow,
William Smellie moved to Kilmarnock to train under the architect
Gabriel Andrew and then went into practice in the town.
In 1898 he published a book entitled Sketches of Old
Kilmarnock which features around 40 of the town's buildings
and streets including the Laigh Kirk. Smellie produced the sketches
either from study of the buildings themselves or, in the case of
buildings no longer in existence, from pictures and drawings lent
to him. The sketches are accompanied by information gathered by
Smellie from local people well acquainted with the town.
