Product Description
Book Description
A book with thirty-seven fascinating stories from Kilmarnock's proud history. Kilmarnock has much to be proud of: the town's two Nobel Prize winners; world-class companies such as Johnnie Walker; famous people such as broadcaster Kirsty Wark and the miner turned politician, Andrew Fisher; great inventors and engineers; the men who helped launch the career of Robert Burns.
But like most towns there is a dark side to Kilmarnock. The book covers notorious murders, ghosts and unexplained mysteries. There is also a wealth of stories on a wide variety of other subjects. Kilmarnock FC's glory year. The cobbler-artist John Kelso Hunter. Kilmarnock's trams. The town's two great war heroes.Kilmarnock 'worthies' and other great characters. The blitz of Kilmarnock. And much, much more.
