Irvine New Town Trail

	Irvine New Town Trail The Irvine New Town Trail is a recreational cycleway and footpath around Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The route is long. The trail is used by many dog walkers and cyclists in the area. The route forms a ring with no specific start and end points.

picture info	Cycling In Scotland Sport plays a central role in Scottish culture. The temperate, oceanic climate has played a key part in the evolution of sport in Scotland, with all-weather sports like association football and golf dominating the national sporting consciousness. However, many other sports are played in the country, with popularity varying between sports and between regions.
