Scottish Maritime Museum
The Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine houses a nationally recognised collection of historic vessels, art, sculptures, personal items and an interesting collection of shipbuilding tools and machinery.
The Museum is situated within a vast, glass-roofed Victorian Linthouse. This listed building was originally the engine shop of a Glasgow shipyard. It was salvaged and relocated to Irvine in 1991.
Eglinton Country Park
Eglinton Country Park is set in 400 acres of parkland. There are several miles of varied and beautiful walks suitable for all ages and abilities. Enjoy a mixture of habitats as you pass from parkland path, to riverside walkway, woodland and forest, or open hill to loch shore. There is a coffee shop and a play area.
Golf
