It has a population of 4,968.[2] Hurlford's former names include Whirlford and Hurdleford.[3] The village was named Whirlford as a result of a ford crossing the River Irvine east of Hurlford Cross, near Shawhill.[4] It shares its name in Gaelic, Baile Àtha Cliath ("The Ford of the Hurdles") with the Irish capital Dublin. The village's Blair Park is home to Hurlford United F.C. and many notable footballers have been trained there. Local Council WardsThe village is mostly contained in the Kilmarnock East and Hurlford ward of East Ayrshire Council while some outlying hamlets are in the Irvine Valley ward.[5] ReligionTraditionally part of Riccarton parish,[6] the village is now a quoad sacra parish in its own right. Hurlford is home to four church buildings—the Hurlford Kirk and Hurlford Church, both in Main Road, Crookedholm and the Mauchline Road Church. St Paul's Catholic Church is on Galston Road, Gothic style church, designed by architect Robert Samson Ingram and dates from 1883 and is constructed in yellow brick.[7] Hurlford Church, the former Free Church built in 1857, is part of the Church of Scotland.[8] Mauchline Road Church was formerly part of the Unitarian Church.[4] It is now used as luxury housing.[9] The Hurlford Kirk, which was the original parish church built in 1875 has also been converted into a house, having become redundant as a church in 1996 when its congregation merged with that of the Free Church.[10][11] EducationHurlford Primary SchoolHurlford Primary School, formerly Hurlford Grammar and Secondary School is the non-denominational primary school for the area and also houses Hurlford Nursery School.[12] The building itself dates back to 1905.[13] Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Rothesay, visited and congratulated the staff and children on 20 June 2005 on their achievements transforming school meals,[14] which was followed by the school winning the Soil Association's School Food Award at the BBC's Good Food Show, presented by Jamie Oliver.[15]Crossroads Primary SchoolCrossroads Primary School, now closed, formerly served the outlying areas of Hurlford and surrounding villages. It was closed by East Ayrshire Council as it was no longer financially viable to repair the building, despite parental and local protest. Pupils now attend Galston Primary School.[16] EconomyThe town developed rapidly in the 19th century, following the discovery of coal. Fireclay and ironstone were also worked extensively until production ceased in the 1970s. A poignant reminder of the heyday of the iron and steel industry of Hurlford is the ship's propeller erected at the Cross in the lately redeveloped town centre.[17] Today, industries found in Hurlford include brakepad manufacturing by Eurofriction Limited and whisky production by international company Diageo.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} TransportHurlford railway station is now closed. However, East Ayrshire Council have recently entered negotiations with First ScotRail and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport to re-introduce passenger rail halts.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}} Hurlford also used to boast its own tramway system, which connected it to Kilmarnock. Nowadays, the main public transport links are provided by several Stagecoach Western bus services, including direct services to Glasgow. Notable residents
The village is often referred to as a "football nursery" due to its high output of footballers.
