Description
Kilmarnock College is set in the heart of East Ayrshire and is a college committed to working with learners, communities and business. In undertaking this commitment we have helped hundreds if not thousands of students fulfil their dreams whether it is a career change, a stepping stone to university or gaining employment for the first time. We also take pride in offering our students opportunities to take part in international events and visits.East Ayrshire has produced many famous names that have gone on to international recognition. Robert Burns had his 'First Edition' printed in Kilmarnock and many prominent Kilmarnock people were his friends and several of his poems feature local people and settings. However perhaps most famously of Kilmarnock was Johnnie Walker who marketed his 'Walkers Kilmarnock Whisky' which then went on to become the world famous 'Johnnie Walker's, which is now owned by Diageo.Kilmarnock was also home to a range of manufacturing companies, including engineering and carpets, some of which continue today.
