More information about Irvine
Irvine is a town located in North Ayrshire in Southwest Scotland. With a population estimated at around 34,000, and a total area of 55 square kilometers, it is a relatively large settlement in the area and is known for its close connections to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport.
Car Industry
The car industry is one of Irvine's most enduring connections. In the 1960s and 70s, the townships of Dreghorn, Annick, Irongray and Bourtreehill were built, providing a housing solution for those working within the nearby factories. The factories themselves were integral to the development of the local car industry which was mainly focused on assembling Hillman Imp's (a popular car at the time). The area rapidly developed an economy based on the manufacture of cars and would go on to be one of the main manufacturing hubs in Scotland.
In the 1990s, Japanese car manufacturer, Subaru, opened their first overseas factory in nearby Dalry, and combined with other local auto factories, this provided a boost to the local economy. The car industry continues to have a strong presence in the area with a variety of automotive companies having established a presence in the vicinity of Irvine.
Finance Industry
Alongside the car industry, the finance industry has become an important part of Irvine's business community in recent years. The town is home to the district headquarters of the Royal Bank of Scotland, as well as a number of other banks and financial services companies. The area has become a hub of finance activity and has seen an influx of skilled workers from other areas of the UK, attracted by the relative affordability of housing costs in the area.
Motorsport
Finally, Irvine is home to a long and proud motorsports history. The area is home to the popular Knockhill Racing Circuit which is host to a variety of events from club racing to national championships. Knockhill has been host to the British Super Bike Championships as well as a number of other international events such as the British Grand Prix. It also houses a state of the art go-karting track, widely regarded as one of the best in Europe.
Alongside these larger events, Irvine also plays host to a series of grass-roots activities such as drag racing and rallycross events.
