From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other places with the same name, see Moscow (disambiguation).
Moscow is a hamlet in East Ayrshire in Scotland.
It is on the A719 road some four miles east of Kilmarnock. The name is thought to be a corruption of 'Moss-hall' or 'Moss-haw' but its spelling was formalised in 1812 to mark Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. A nearby watercourse is the Volga Burn.
As of 2006 its population is reported as 118. It is represented in the Galston West and Hurlford North ward of East Ayrshire Council.
