📌 Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire
★★★
The Dick Institute is one of the finest buildings in Kilmarnock – the county capital of East Ayrshire and “Scotland’s most improved town” according to local road signs. Accolade or insult? You decide. The building opened its doors in 1901 and functions as the town’s museum as well as a library and events venue. Kilmarnock is a large town with a broad history, and industries ranging from bonnets to railway engines. The grand upper floors are spacious enough to do a good job of telling it, spread across two large galleries; in this case at least, size does matter.
