Review:
The grand Victorian cobblestone streets of Kilmarnock are one of the best places for a day of shopping and dining in Scotland. Several parks in Kilmarnock can be enjoyed including Kay Park where the largest Robert Burns statue in Scotland is located and the 200 acres Dean Castle and Country Park. Families taking a day trip to Kilmarnock will love the castle park where they can find barnyard animals, explore the 14th-century castle, or hike through the woodlands, lagoons, and ponds. The Dick Institute is a unique attraction for learning the history of Scotland and is the largest museum in Ayrshire and features an expansive contemporary art collection. Live music and events are often held at Palace Theatre which draws crowds from across the United Kingdom.
