Cunninghame

Cunninghame in Blaeu's Atlas (1654)

Cunninghame is the northern part of Ayrshire; one of the three traditional divisions of the county.

Ayrshire is divided naturally by its three primary rivers all running in a generally westward direction to flow into the firth of Clyde: The River Irvine forms the southern boundary of Cunninghame, south of which is Kyle.

In the late nineteenth century Cunninghame was described as comprising the following civil parishes of:

Ardrossan Beith Dalry Dreghorn Fenwick, Irvine, Kilbirnie West Kilbride

Kilmarnock Kilmaurs Kilwinning Largs Loudoun Stevenston Stewarton Dunlop (part)
