The New Cumnock district lies in the central south-western margin of the Midland Valley of Scotland, extending south to include part of the Southern Uplands massif. The district is predominantly rural with the main centres of population concentrated on the Coalfields around New Cumnock, Muirkirk and Sanquhar. The industries in this area were formerly based on geological resources such as coal, ironstone and limestone, but at present only coal is being extracted from opencast sites. [Report]
