Spent a couple of hours here and it is well worth a visit, they have soo much to tell and show. Interactive videos aimed at both old and young and people who want to tell you all about Burns time in Irvine. The people are friendly welcoming and very knowledgeable and are able to pitch the talks whether you are just interested or an aficionado. The items on display from Burns life and more are fabulous and some of the will blow you away. No charge but worth a generous donation in the box on the way out Well well worth a visit just to see his hand written manuscripts.

North Ayrshire Shooting Ground

Reviewed By jamessS6612XW

Took my first ever shotgun lesson today with my partner who came along to see if she would like lessons as well. Friendly helpful expert team in the shop office and coach John is excellent and fun at guiding the beginner through all stages of safety to hitting those clays. Ongoing in session analysis, coaching advice, tweaks, suggestions and in depth explanations on visual targeting led to a great exciting new shooting experience. Suffice to say my partner has now booked us both in again for another lesson as we enjoyed the trip there so much. I think I have found my new hobby and interest.

What a wonderfull museum, what an interesting visit. We spent hours wandering and had a lovely guided tour with Abi. She was informative and we shared stories of living in a tenement. We are from Ayrshire but did not appreciate the history of Irvine harbour. The museum itself had great exhibits, each with good photos and explanations of the role Scotland played in revolutionising world shipping. The atmosphere changed as the evening outside darkened, wonderfull. We will be back. Irvine harbour are itself is so intersesting with bars, cafes and an Arts Centre. The Puffer Cafe was welcoming with a doorman opening the door for us. 5 star day.
