Kilbirnie (Gaelic: Cille Bhraonaidh) sits on the River Garnock in North Ayrshire, just 20 miles from Glasgow and Ayr. The Auld Kirk was built here in the 15th century on the site of a sixth century monastic cell and is one of the oldest churches still in use. Glengarnock Castle is nearby, Kilbirnie Loch is home to several different fish and bird species, and Glengarnock Steel Works opened its blast furnaces around 1841. The Radio City Association has redeveloped the former Art Deco Radio City Cinema into a Healthy Living Centre. The close-knit Garnock Valley community of Kilbirnie has around 7500 people and s1kilbirnie.com has been developed to allow residents to share their news, views and opinions, make announcements, publicise events and show off their photos and videos.

Can we save money?

In September of last year we received the news that a brand new Garnock Academy will be built. At the time, we had a lively discussion about the topic here on s1kilbirnie. Ryan Crombie, a 6th year pupil at Garnock, has now posted a comment to the original story. He says this is a complete waste of taxpayer's money and goes on to explain why the money could be better spent to regenerate the main town and build a new police station. (continued)
