KilmarnockKilmarnock in Ayrshire is located about 19km/12 miles northeast of Ayr, at the point where the River Irvine is joined by the Kilmarnock Water. The Kilmarnock Water is formed to the north of the town, by the joining of the Fenwick and Craufurdland Waters. John Walker (1805-1859) was born near the town, where he founded a grocery shop in 1820. He later began to blend whisky with his brand, originally known as Walker's Kilmarnock Whisky, becoming the world famous Johnnie Walker in 1907. Dean Castle sits to the north of the town and was built around 1300 by the Earl of Kilmarnock. |
