Provenance
Earliest known date: March 2011 Based on the MacMillan hunting tartan in honour of the founder of the Cumnock Games, Councillor James McMillan. The blue is from the lion rampant in the Cumnock coat of arms. The orange and red commemorate the great iron ore blast furnaces at Lugar and the surrounding black is for the coal mines that fed those furnaces and formed the heart of the Cumnock community. Approved by Cumnock Community Council.
