William Stevenson, the hoarding beggar died on July 17th 1817 in Kilmarnock.

William Stevenson was a Kilmarnock beggar who died with the equivalent of £80K in cash. He paid for a wake party with cakes and wine for Ayrshire’s poor and homeless that lasted for two weeks. He chose Riccarton Kirkyard because the earth was “nice an dry”.

Stevenson was trained as a mason, but spent the greater part of his life begging. Up until his last illness, the only thing we know about him was that he and his wife had separated. They must had hated each other a lot, because they had made an agreement that if one of them ever proposed they got back together, they would pay the other £100. As far as we know, they never saw each other again.

Stevenson fell ill at the age of eighty-five and was confined to bed. His chief concern was that what little money he had scraped together would not last. But it did. When he knew he was close to death, he began to make arrangements for a grand send off. He sent for a baker and ordered twelve dozen funeral cakes and a great quantity of biscuits. He ordered wine and spirits in correspondingly large amounts and said that more of both should be purchased if that proved to be insufficient. Next, he sent for a joiner and ordered himself an expensive coffin. Then the gravedigger, and asked for a roomy grave in a dry and comfortable corner.

He told an old lady who had been looking after him where she might find £9 hidden in his home to pay for all the expenses, and assured her that she had been remembered in his will. He died shortly afterwards and, when his room was searched they found a bag of silver pieces, more coins hidden in a heap of old rags and £300 hidden in a trunk. They also found bonds and securities. His fortune amounted to around £900. To the old lady, he left £20, which may not sound like much but, in today’s money, that’s close to £2,000.

William Stevenson lay in state for four days while his distant relatives were gathered to attend his funeral. But it was not a sombre affair. It was a party. Whole families were invited. He was visited by the young and the old, by beggars and poor tradesmen. The older attendees found they had each been left sixpence, the younger ones, threepence.

After the burial, everyone repaired to a barn, where most of them got so drunk that they had to be helped home. Some did not make it home at all, but fell asleep on a pile of corn sacks. The only account I could find of William’s funeral was by someone who clearly didn’t approve of it. It uses words like ‘wicked’, ‘careless’ and ‘waste’. It also goes on to say that those who missed the celebrations threatened to dig up his body so that they could give him another send off. They left him where he was, but apparently, the party continued for several weeks. That doesn’t sound like a waste to me. I think when a funeral is such fun that you want to do it all over again – that’s a pretty good funeral.

Restaurant Review – Pings Pizza & Wings

Pings Pizza & Wings is a brand new restaurant based in Kilmarnock, located on Bonnyton Road, the newly refurbished eatery is in what many locals will remember as the former pub, Memory Lane. It is a joint venture between Jordan Yates, a local business owner and Mario Martinelli, a veteran of the hospitality industry who will be taking up the helm as head chef.

Starter – 9 Wings (with three sauces; Buffalo Hot, Sweet BBQ and Nippy Beastie) Thomas: So to properly review these chicken wings I ordered them with the sauce on the side so I could talk about the quality and taste of the chicken wings on their own, as well as review them with a few of the impressive range of sauces.

ℹ️ Forehead wrinkles can appear at a variety of ages from as young as 18 years old. They become much more obvious as we get older. I know a treatment for this 🤫 Botox injections are commonly injected into three main sites – forehead lines, crow’s feet lines around the eyes and the vertical ’11’ frown lines between the eyebrows. Now you may be thinking “I’d like my crow’s feet and forehead lines treating – so that’s two areas, right?” Unfortunately, it’s not quite as simple as that. A good practitioner would never treat the forehead without treating the frown lines as well. This is because it could lead to heaviness (brow ptosis), but the frown lines can be treated without the forehead. So, in short, if you’d like to improve the horizontal lines across your forehead, you can expect this to be two treatment areas. If you’d also like to soften the lines around your eyes (crow’s feet), this is classed as one area if treated on its own or three areas if treated alongside the forehead and frown. Other treatments include: 🍎Weight Management Consultation 💉Wrinkle Reduction Consultation 💉Fat Dissolving 💉Dermal Fillers 👄Lip Fillers 👁Eyelash Augmentation 💉5 Point Facelifts 💉Vitamin Replacement 🩸Laboratory Tests 👂Ear Wax Removal #beauty #aesthetics #lipfiller #skincare #fillers #dermalfillers #lips #antiaging #injectables #medspa #filler #skin #nurseinjector #aesthetic #lipfillers #plasticsurgery #microneedling #beforeandafter #weightloss #kilmarnock #weightlossjourney #medicalaesthetics #ayrshire #scotland #ayr #lipinjections #troon #antiaging #earwaxremoval #earirrigation #galderma (at Atelier Clinic) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOen61Mu1-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Burns Monument, Kilmarnock.

A few pics of mine from 2015.

The statue was unveiled on 9th August 1879 by Colonel Alexander of Ballochmyle. An occasion so grandiose that it attracted one of the largest crowds ever seen for a Kilmarnock event.

There is rather a sad story to this as on 19th November 2004 someone decided to set the previous monument building on fire.That isn’t the whole story though, it seems that the people of Kilmarnock had somehow fallen out of love with our national bard as the old monument had been left, neglected and boarded for 16 years!!! After the arson attack there was talk of the remains of the monument being demolished, the cost of rebuilding it was quoted at the time to be around the four million pound mark, on our previous record as a nation I would at least double that!

I can't find all the information about how it was funded but planning permission for the Burns Monument centre was granted in 2006 the surviving remains of the old building was restored and incorporated into a new structure that also housed Scotland’s first purpose-built genealogy centre where with access to Scotland’s People records from 1513 to the present day.

The Burns Monument Centre is also home to major collections of printed material on Ayrshire and Robert Burns, a register office and function suites you can hire for conferences etc.
