Kilmaurs is a large village in East Ayrshire, set in the rolling countryside a few miles east of Kilmarnock and close to the valley of the River Irvine. The village sits amid farmland and patches of woodland, offering easy access to country walks while remaining within commuting distance of larger Ayrshire centres and Glasgow.
The name derives from a dedication to St Maura and the village retains a mix of historic buildings, Victorian terraces and a conservation feel alongside modern housing.
