Dunlop is a small rural village in East Ayrshire, Scotland, set among rolling Ayrshire farmland to the north of Kilmarnock and close to the valley of the River Irvine. Its attractive countryside makes it popular for local walks and it serves as a quiet residential community for people who commute to larger towns and to Glasgow.

Despite its size, Dunlop has a notable history and identity - it gives its name to the traditional Dunlop cheese and retains a parish church and several older buildings that reflect its agricultural past. The village has a close-knit social scene with local events, a primary school and small businesses, and the surrounding farms still shape much of the local economy and character.
