i grew up in Stewarton and was/still am fascinated by the bust that is above the shop.My Great Gran (dead now) told me it was not of Rabbie Burns and there was a song about it.
The bust was actually a man called Fleming who lived at Oatfield House.
I think the song was called Stewarton Corner, I remember it being sang at parties years ago.
thank you both very much for the info. Was talking to my parents tonight (still living in stewarton) and they were amazed at the power and info this site has.
