This is somewhere certainly worth a visit on the Ayrshire coast. Well done to those in the West Kilbride community for such creative ways of rebranding their town. The whole Craft Town scheme is very worthwhile and works well (with good signage and interpretation), but the real gem is the Barony Centre. A superb use of an old church into a light and airy exhibition space showcasing the local crafts, plus a very welcoming cafe with good coffee & food.
