Introduction
The former estate of Kilbirnie, which had its heyday in the first half of the 18th century, is now split in two by the A760. South of the road the parkland has been made into a golf course, although some earlier features remain. North of the road is the new house, Place of Kilbirnie, with a 19th-century designed landscape.
