Waterside is a village in East Ayrshire, Scotland, situated about five miles north of Galston on the Craufurdland Water in the Parish of Fenwick.

[3] The flat topped bungalows at 28 to 30 Main Street were designed by Sam Brunton and built using new prefabrication techniques in 1943 from gyproc.

[2] The village had a post office located at the site of the schoolhouse building that survives today as a private dwelling.

[1] The 1895 OS map shows that the post office was at this time located on the west side of the main street, a few houses up from Waterside Bridge.

On the south side of the Hareshawmuir Water are the remains of a small fort, lying close to the farm of Langdyke.
