It is an area bursting with local produce; strawberries, fresh seafood, and the famed Ayrshire ‘tatti’ (a hybrid of a potato cake and a scone). It is an industrial town and port and was once Glasgow’s main port until the development of the Clyde in the 18th-century.

This provides easy access for commuters with links also leading in a Southerly direction towards Ayr, Girvan, the Ayrshire coast, and in a Northerly direction toward Glasgow.

    Much economic regeneration has taken place in the town over the past few years with several major development projects including the redevelopment of Irvine Harbour, creating a residential area with the atmosphere of a Scottish village.

    Schools & Education

    Moving to a new location means that there are numerous considerations including finding suitable schools. Even more so if you are moving from England to Irvine.

    You need to do some thorough research. As a rule, children in Scotland attend the school nearest to home. As the catchment area determines which school your child is entitled to attend you need to choose carefully.
