Keep Muirkirk Tidy
extract from the Community News 4th March 2008
The amount of litter and cans in the paths from the scheme to the school is rediculous. If you must drink or take carry-outs into the park please out the remains in a bin as there are plenty around and help keep Muirkirk Tidy.
Located on the eastern edge of Ayrshire in Scotland, the village of Muirkirk is a historical Covenanter town with a past which boasts of significant industrial production and innovation.
Today little evidence remains of Muirkirk's industrial past but the beauty of the countryside surrounding the village remains as do the healthy benefits of living in such an environment.
Today Muirkirk is increasingly a centre for leisure, with it's golf course, walking trails and caravan park. Muirkirk's people are active in building a community and environment which is attractive and welcoming to visitors.
Today, those who have enjoyed living in a spectacular part of Scotland are proud to invite visitors to enjoy the freedom of the Muirkirk countryside - and privilaged to share with you Muirkirk's proud heritage.
