VOLUNTEERS from Kilwinning Heritage welcome visitors to the 199-year-old Abbey tower.

Learn about the Papingo archery competition as featured in last year’s BBC broadcast with Michael Portillo on Great British Railway Journeys.

Find out about Robert W Service, the Bard of the Yukon. Climb the stairs to see the working clock mechanism and the ancient town bells.

From the roof, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views to Arran, south Ayrshire and the Garnock valley. Kilwinning Abbey Tower and Heritage Centre are open to the public every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1-3pm until the middle of September. Entry is free.
