Tourist Guide Kilwinning
Kilwinning is a historic town situated in North Ayrshire, Scotland. It is known as the crossroads of Ayrshire. North Ayrshire has a history of religion stretching back to the very beginning of a missionary enterprise in Scotland. The Celtic Christians or Culdees of the period of St Columba and St Mungo found here, in this part of Scotland, is a fertile field for the propagation of the faith. A popular local nickname for Kilwinning is Kilwinkie.
Kilwinning is based on the banks of the River Gamock in Ayrshire, west and central Scotland. Kilwinning is neighboured by the costal towns of Stevenston to the west and Irvine to the south. According to the census of 2001, the total population is 18000 in the town. Kilwinning rapidly expanded with new estates built on the surrounding farm land to meet the planned increase in population.
