CIVIC CHAMPION
WINNER: GRAHAM BOYD
“
NOMINATED BY: Ayrshire Architectural Heritage Trust
Graham Boyd has been the
main driving force behind
the Kilmarnock ‘Town Trail
for Primary Schools’. His
voluntary input in producing
this invaluable resource
deserves to be recognised
along with all the other work
he has done, much of it with
the Kilmarnock and District
History Group, to remember,
preserve and promote the
heritage of Kilmarnock.
Graham’s passion for
history and heritage and his
determination to encourage
learning never ceases. He is
a worthy winner of the 2014
Civic Champion Award.
Graham has successfully
brought back to life the
history and heritage of
Kilmarnock in an accessible
and fascinating new
resource. Not only does
the Town Trail tell the story
of Kilmarnock for young
people but it promotes
civic pride and respect for
place and people. It is a
terrific voluntary effort with
lasting impact.
