English: The James Keir Hardie Bust. This bust stands outside Cumnock Town Hall. A plaque at the foot of the statue reads as follows:-
This bronze bust of James Keir Hardie (1856-1915)
was sculpted by Benno Schotz RSA.
It was commissioned by the
National Keir Hardie Memorial Committee
and was accepted by
Provost Nan Hardie Hughes,
Keir Hardiess daughter, in August 1939.
This plaque was unveiled by Mrs Anna Boyd,
