If you are a golfer, then this is a must play course if you are in the area. The area has lots of courses but this is one of the best. We had a great lunch and great caddies, good weather with a bunch of wind. The only negative I could possibly mention is that there isn't much in the way of good merchandise in the proshop. Given the remarkable course, most Yanks would buy a good souvenir and especially a jersey if they had a better selection.

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.

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.
