is a
County Constituency of the
House Of Commons of the
Parliament Of The United Kingdom . It was formed in
2005 from parts of the old
Ayr ,
Cunninghame South and
Carrick, Cumnock And Doon Valley constituencies.
An earlier constituency of the same name had existed from 1950 until 1983.
This new constituency is centred on the historic burgh of
Irvine , designated in the 1970s as a
Glasgow overspill new town.
Prestwick , site of the airport, and
Troon on the coast are also included. The seat extends to the east and south up against the suburbs of
Ayr .
As created in 1950 the constituency merged together parts of

When abolished in 1983 the constituency was largely replaced by
Cunninghame South .
