Kilmarnock Fine Gin Distillery Tour
First settled in the mid 1600s, Kilmarnock was originally known as “The Crossroads”. Kilmarnock probably had its beginnings at the intersection of Indian paths which later became the locations of Routes 3 (Main Street) and 200 (East Church Street & Irvington Road).
Dean Castle
Dean Castle Country Park is a fantastic free day out for all the family. The country park, covering over 200 acres, is nestled in the heart of Kilmarnock and offers something for the whole family to enjoy.
The 14th century castle (currently closed for renovations) was the home and stronghold of the Boyd family for over 400 years. Visit the Rural Life Centre where you can learn more about sustainable living and enjoy some beautiful woodland walks, learning more about the history of the estate and spotting local wildlife along the way. Children can run wild in the adventure playground and explore the Urban Farm to meet our farm animals. Events take place throughout the year and there is a Cafe and Visitor Centre on site”
