Lady Kilmarnock

A stunning mural of Lady Kilmarnock by Tom Lightbody on the gable of a wall on St Marnock Square. Lady Kilmarnock,

Lady Anne Livingston Boyd was married to the 4th Earl of Kilmarnock, a Jacobite, who was captured, taken to the Tower of London and beheaded. During his imprisonment and after his execution, Lady Anne would take long walks in her garden, now named Howard Park and the area of her strolls is called The Lady’s Walk. Tom’s fine line work is used to full effect in the lace of her clothes and umbrella, reflecting the area’s thriving lace-making in the 19th Century. A mural that is well worth a trip to Kilmarnock in my opinion, don't forget to see Michael Corr's Robert Burns mural while in the area.
