Kilwinning (population: 18000. Gaelic: Cill Fhinnean) in North Ayrshire is on the River Garnock just south of Dalry and two miles from Stevenston. Known as The Crossroads of Ayrshire, the abbey town of Kilwinning is the birthplace of Freemasonry in Scotland; Mother Lodge, the First Lodge of Scotland was built in the 12th century, as was Kilwinning Abbey. Kilwinning is home to Eglinton Castle (site of the 1839 Eglinton Tournament) and the Ancient Society of Kilwinning Archers, the oldest in the UK. In 2000 the newest campus of James Watt College opened in Kilwinning. The Irvine Bay Regeneration Company is working to revitalise Kilwinning and the four seaside towns of Ardrossan, Saltcoats, Stevenston and Irvine. s1kilwinning.com has been developed to allow residents to share their news, views and opinions, make announcements, publicise events and show off their photos and videos
