Kilbirnie

Kilbirnie literally means the “kil” or “cell” of St Birinu or Birinie, a West Saxon monk who died at Dorchester in Dorset in AD 650. Within the town you’ll find the Barony Parish Church, dating from the 15th century. Inside is some wonderfully exuberant woodwork frm the 17th and 18th centuries, including the extravagant Crawford Loft and the Cunninghame Aisle.

Standing next to the golf course are the ruins of the Place of Kilbirnie, a former castle of the Crawford family dating from the 15th century.
