Irvine was officially designated as a "New Town" in 1966, the fifth and last to be developed in Scotland and the only 'new town' to be located on the coast. This section will detail some of the developments that took place during this time, and those that did not take place at all.

This photograph was probably taken sometime between 1975 and 1980 (if you look at the lift housing for Rivergate House, it is painted white, around 1980 this was changed to brown).
