Clock Making
The region is not unique in its history of clock and watch
manufacture - everyone needs accurate and reliable time-pieces -
but the quality and renown of many of these highly-skilled
craftsmen means that their work is still sought after. Cameron's of
Kilmarnock, 'Clockie' Brown of Mauchline (mentioned in the work of
Robert Burns), and the Breckenridge family (suppliers of many
church clocks) were all important players.
