Auchinleck Academy
Auchinleck Academy is one of three secondary schools serving the Cumnock Doon Valley area. The land sloping down from the academy playing fields has recently been planted with deciduous trees. The farm track in the foreground leads to Hillend of Heateth. Two family horses graze the paddock to the left of the road. The main farming interest is, however, sheep rearing.

Gilminscroft railway branch
The Ordnance Survey sometimes seem slightly inconsistent in the marking of dismantled railways but this one, crossing a patch of rough ground almost opposite Auchinleck Academy is obvious to the "trained" eye even though it was closed and the track removed at least sixty years ago. The side-to-side ridges of grass indicate the placement of the wooden sleepers that supported the rails. This Glasgow & South Western Railway line branched off the Auchinleck to Muirkirk line and headed north to for just over a mile to serve four collieries at Gilminscroft, none of which survived to be nationalised in 1947. Today the railway path leads to an area of community woodland.
