Laigh Kirk, Kilmarnock, Category A listed church building in Kilmarnock, Scotland.
The Laigh Kirk features a neoclassical design with symmetrical facades, classical columns, and minimal ornamentation on John Dickie Street in Kilmarnock.
Originally established in the 7th century, the current church structure was completed in 1802 after a tragic incident where 29 people died during a service.
The church displays a contemporary sculpture titled Homeless Jesus and maintains connections to Scottish literary figure Robert Burns through historical associations.
The Laigh Kirk conducts regular worship services for its 688 members and provides online information about community activities through its website.
The base of the church tower dates back to 1410, representing the earliest remaining structure from the original medieval building.
