Kilmarnock is associated with two major foundations of Scottish heritage and culture-whiskey and Robert Burns. It was where the famous brand Johnnie Walker Whiskey was invented, by a local grocer John Walker in the 1850s, and Kilmarnock continued to produce its most famous export until its bottling plant closed in 2012. The town is very proud of its whiskey heritage and the Johnnie Walker Bond building still stands in the town centre.
Kilmarnock is also very proud of its literary legacy- it was the place where the first collection of poetical works by Robert Burns was published and today, the town has the biggest Burns monument in the world. The original statue and museum were constructed at the end of the 1870s and a modern visitors centre was constructed in 2004 after the site was partially destroyed by fire. As well as being able to find out more about the life and works of Robert Burns here, it has also become a popular location for company conferences and wedding receptions.
