Ardrossan
Ardrossan is a town on the North Ayrshire coast in south-western Scotland. Based on the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of approx 10952. In recent years, Ardrossan has become an affluent commuter town. The town boasts effective and regular rail, bus, road and ferry links. Since 2006, Ardrossan has been part of a regeneration area, overseen by the Irvine Bay Regeneration Company. Its vision for Ardrossan is as a gateway to Arran and as a good place to reside and relax close to the sea in a regenerated town centre serving the current and incoming community. It has started to be accomplished through renewal of the town centre, which consists of a derelict office in Princes Street which has been transformed into two modern shops. The former Jack Miller's Hotel building at 78 Princes Street was refurbished during the autumn of 2010, and has been home to a number of companies. This includes an art gallery and artists' studio space known as Phoenix, plus a graphic design studio. The old pumphouse has been altered into an Italian restaurant. Ardrossan is also home to some architecturally famous buildings, for example Barony St. John's Church and St. Peter-in-Chains Roman Catholic Church. St Peter's is a more modern building in an all-brick, Swedish style, dating from the middle of the 19th century. Both buildings are located on the South Crescent, which overlooks South Beach and Irvine Bay. The crescent is lined by substantially sized villas dating from the 19th century, many of which have been transformed into several residences.
