Irvine

Major works at Irvine have started which means that the Linthouse building will not open until mid summer. However our Boatshop Display and Puffers cafe are open all year round and the Tenement Flat and The MV Kyles will be open as normal from May.

Situated on Irvine's Harbourside, you will find exhibitions and ship models as well as Scotland's 'Cathedral of Engineering', the Linthouse Engine Shop, built in 1872. Inside you can explore much of the Museum's collection including shipbuilding machinery and machine tools, small boats, canoes, lifeboats, and much more. A visit also includes a tour to the shipyard workers' tenement flat, restored to its pre-1920s appearance and you can board the MV kyles the odest floating clydebuilt vessel in the world.
