Welcome to the Web site for the town of Kilbirnie, Ayrshire
Kilbirnie is a small town of around 7500 people situated in North Ayrshire on the West Coast of Scotland. Historically the town built up around the flax and weaving industries before iron and steelmaking took over in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. The local steelworks closed in 1979 dealing a major blow to the towns economy, and a large number of the local retailers closed soon after. Now, however, Kilbirnie is on the up, a number of private housing estates are appearing and the town itself is optimistic of a brighter future. The Radio City Association have redeveloped the former Radio Cinema into a Healthy Living Centre, Tesco have built a new supermarket in the town centre, and a new project to redevelop Lochshore is planned. These projects will bring renewed life to the town and community.
