Kilwinning

Town in North Ayrshire unitary authority, Scotland, situated on the right bank of the River Garnock, about 40 km/25 mi southwest of Glasgow; population (2001) 15,900. It is effectively joined to Irvine, forming part of the New Town area, and has diverse industries, including those related to iron production.
