GalbraithsS & A Galbraith`s established their grocery business in Cumnock in 1849. Their first shop was in the Square. In 1890 Samuel Galbraith bought buildings at the corner of Tower Street and Elbow Lane and he converted these into a large grocery shop. In the rear he erected a factory where confectionery and jams were made. Galbraiths was demolished in the late 1960`s to make way for more car parking facilities adjacent to Tower Street. At the time it was owned by Spence Galbraith. Galbraith`s then established a Cash and Carry business in Cairn Road in December 1970 as part of the Mace Group.
Samuel Galbraith was elected as a councillor from 1901-1904.
