Trinity Church, Irvine

Highlight • Religious Site

Trinity Church is a Victorian A listed building currently being refurbished by the Irvine Bay Regeneration Company. It was designed by the architect Frederick Thomas Pilkington. At the age of 29, this was his first church commission and it was completed in 1863. It is a Romantic gothic (Venetian inspired) church with spire and adjoining hall, situated on what was once known as Mizar Hill overlooking the river Irvine.

The rose wheel window was designed by Daniel Cottier, this being his first major piece of public work. He was heavily influenced by medieval design and themes of nature. Cottier is considered to be one of the most influential stained glass artists in Scotland. The interior, although much lost, has fourornately carved stone columns supporting finely carved capitals. A church hall adjoins to the rear via a polygonally roofed chapterhouse. The church was built for the Rev. William B Robertson, known as the 'Poet Preacher' on account of his lyrical sermons.

Irvine Harbour

Highlight • Historical Site

The harbours serving Irvine at Seagatefoot and Fullarton in North Ayrshire have had a long and complex history. Irvine's harbour was one of the most important ports in Scotland in the 16th century. Across from the main harbour at Fullarton on the River Irvine there was also terminal for the ICI-Nobel Explosives plant on the River Garnock. Much of the harbour went into decline in the 19th century when Glasgow, Greenock and Port Glasgow achieved higher prominence as sea ports. There was still some commercial sea traffic linked to local needs, though the harbour went into further terminal decline in the 20th century. The weir on the River Irvine forms the formal upper limit of the harbour. Formerly owned by ICI, Irvine Harbour is now the property of NPL Estates Irvine Harbour is now officially closed as a commercial port. Until recently NPL provided a slipway for dinghies, as well as moorings and berths for pleasure craft. However, silting has taken place and the Scottish Maritime Museum's berths are not for public use.

View of Annick Water and Arch Bridge

Highlight • River

The Annick Water (previously also spelled as Annack, Annoch (1791) or Annock) is the largest tributary of the River Irvine. The river runs from Long Loch, just inside East Renfrewshire, in a generally south-western direction through North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire, to confluence with its parent river at Irvine, North Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland. The name may derive from the Gaelic for 'overflowing' and Strathannick is very much prone to flooding as recorded by SEPA.

The water now (2006) appears to be pollution free for most of its length. An independent survey in the Bourtreehill (1999) area revealed a strong colony of freshwater shrimp, a crustacean known only to live in relatively clean water.

On 27 January 2009 a BP tanker train carrying liquid fuels (diesel and heating oil) from Mossend to Riccarton was derailed near the bridge over the Stewarton to Kilmaurs road at Peacockbank Farm. Several wagons subsequently caught fire. The Annick Water was polluted, however, it escaped major contamination.

Trinity Church, Ayr

Highlight • Religious Site

Trinity church opened in 1863 and was described by a local newspaper as “the most truly beautiful structure in the West of Scotland”. The impressive 170-foot (52 m) spire was not added until six years later. After falling into a state of disrepair, the church has recently been restored to its former glory.
