The parish is bounded on the north by Kilmarnock, an the east by Galston, on the south by Craigie & Symington, and on the west by Dundonald & Kilmaurs. Its extreme length from east to west is about 8 miles, extreme breadth from north to south, about 3½_ The antiquities of the parish are few and not very interesting. and will be found described in the following pages of this book - There is a portion of this parish detached, a narrow strip of the parish of Galston intervening.
