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. After a long period of progress, with the town improving, a number of private housing estates were built and the town was optimistic of a brighter future. The Radio City Association redeveloped the former Radio Cinema into a Healthy Living Centre, and Tesco built a new supermarket in the town centre.
