Crookedholm is a small village in Ayrshire sitting in a loop in the River Irvine, along the B7073 just east of Kilmarnock.

Across on the south bank of the river is Hurlford.

About the village

The village church is a stone-built, Victorian, Gothic church with an octagonal tower. It is known as Hurlford Kirk as it serves the combined locality on both sides of the Irvine. The church was built in 1857 as Reid Memorial Church, but united with Hurlford Kirk in 1995 and took the latter’s name. Its pipe organ was brought here from the old Hurlford Kirk.

There a King George V Playing Field in Crookedholm.
