Wellwood Burns Centre & Museum

Displays relating to Robert Burns and his stay in Irvine - an audio-visual, evocative murals, fascinating objects, books, paintings and manuscripts - all housed in an Edwardian town house, itself impressive. Irvine Burns Club, established by friends of the poet in 1826, manages this nationally-recognised venue. (Scottish charity no. 018485.)

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.

Eglinton Country Park

Reviewed By O3824YNjanetr

Eglinton park is a lovely place to go walking and running in. There are lots of paths and interesting things to see. Follow it up with a visit to the cafe for tea/coffee and one of their cakes.

Small Talk Coffee Shop

Reviewed By 380lesm - Paisley, United Kingdom

We popped in here Sat lunchtime in the off chance there was space. We were delighted to have a table for 4, enjoyed the soups/sandwich combos, panini and burgers. Lovely cakes and lots of options for dietary restrictions. Such friendly, attentive staff- even with it being so busy and the other COVID restrictions. We’ll definitely go back soon... esp for the cakes!

Rivergate Shopping Centre

Reviewed By maryclynch61 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Recently I started going back to Irvine shopping mall. I love Pep &Co, Freckletons and Primark. If you go through the week it's a lot quieter and it gives you plenty of time to browse. I also like it, as unlike Glasgow, you don't need to pay for parking (although there is a time limit ) There are also plenty of pound shops. It's quite unbelievable what you can pick up for a pound, although shoppers beware something's in pound world, pound land are not all one pound. There are plenty of clothes shops there, all under one roof and it saves a dreary drudge round a rainy Glasgow. So go on treat yourself to a new blouse etc I'm sure you deserve it !
