Johnnie Walker whisky, Saxone shoes and BMK carpets are well known across the country and abroad. Less well known but also distributed across the world are Barclay locomotives and engineering feats by Glenfield and Kennedy. All these companies had their origins in the same Ayrshire town - Kilmarnock. In this book, author Frank Beattie has selected more than 200 pictures to tell the story of the town, its people, industries, churches and parks. Readers will see images of the town centre before it had its heart ripped out by 1970s developers. Also featured are the town during wartime and at work and play. Take a journey through time and discover the Kilmarnock that was, as well as the Kilmarnock we know today.
