North Ayrshire Council scores 4/10.

There are 6 former burghs within the contemporary North Ayrshire Council area (see links on the right). North Ayrshire Council report assets in 2 of these - Irvine and Largs. No assets are reported in,
  • Ardrossan
  • Kilwinning
  • Millport
  • Saltcoats
  • Stevenston
Are there really none or are they simply not adequately recorded? Only further investigation will reveal the truth.

Common Good Funds are reported for 6 burghs including Stevenston which became a constituted burgh after the 1947 Act. The one burgh with no Common Good Fund is Kilwinning.

An excellent account of attempts to fathom the intricacies of the Largs Common Good Fund is given in Annex IV in our 2005 report, Common Good Land in Scotland. A Review and Critique (see Further Info). It comprises a series of newspaper articles written by James Perman.
