Irvine, Scotland, created a Royal Burgh in 1372 by Robert II, was a major West of Scotland seaport before the dredging of the Clyde. In the 18th c., it was the largest burgh in Ayrshire (1775: pop. 3000). Today, Irvine hosts the HQ of North Ayrshire Council, and Ardagh (Rockware Glass). The town enjoys a vibrant community spirit (with active Burns Club, two Rotary Clubs and Trades Guilds incorporated in 1646), and the week-long Marymass Festival in August. Robert Burns worked here in 1781-82. Irvine's burgh status ended in 1975 with local government reorganisation. The population of Irvine is about 22,000. Apart from Irvine Scotland, there are other towns named Irvine.
