To advancement of the heritage through increasing the learning and knowledge of our members by stimulating interest in and for the beauty, history, environment and character of the West Kilbride area. The running and maintenance of the public toilets in Glen Road continues to be a major financial and time-consuming commitment, and we know the facility is needed and appreciated by residents and visitors.
