West Kilbride (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Bhrìghde an Iar) is a village in North Ayrshire, Scotland, on the west coast by the Firth of Clyde, looking across the Firth of Clyde to Goat Fell and the Isle of Arran. West Kilbride and adjoining districts of Seamill and Portencross are generally considered to be a small town, having a combined population of 4,393 at the 2001 census.[1

West Kilbride is situated on the west coast of Scotland, approximately 40 miles (60 km) south west of Glasgow, about 8 miles (13 km) south of Largs and about 5 miles (8 km) north of the "Three Towns" conurbation of Ardrossan, Saltcoats and Stevenson. The built-up area extends from Seamill on the coast of the Firth of Clyde to the principal part of the town, which, raised up and about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the coast, lies between Law Hill (168 m, 551 ft) and Tarbert Hill (138 m, 453 ft). It is overlooked by Cauldron Hill (329 m, 1,079 ft), whose name is largely reputed to be from the Welsh "Cadron" ref. Geoffrey of Monmouth.[citation needed] It looks across the Firth of Clyde to the mountains of the Isle of Arran to the west. The seafront at Seamill features a long sandy beach, as well as rocky outcrops including the small harbour at Portencross. The neighbouring agricultural land supports cereals, potatoes, and livestock, particularly sheep.
