Ayrshire (Ayr, Kilmarnock, Irvine, Saltcoats, Kilwinning, Largs, Troon,
Cumnock)
Ayrshire is a county on the west coast
of Scotland, on the shores of the Firth of Clyde. It has not been an
administrative unit since 1975, when, under regionalisation, it
became part of the Region of Strathclyde and was divided into four
districts
In 1996, under a further reorganisation
of local government in Scotland, Strathclyde region and its
Districts were swept away, and Ayrshire was divided into three
districts: East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire, and South Ayrshire.
