Work on Abbey Tower again delayed

The Abbey Tower Heritage Centre is now unlikely to re-open before Spring 2026. North Ayrshire Council, who owns the Tower, has confirmed it will use almost £200,000 of funding to help restore one of the region’s most beautiful and iconic landmarks. The works - required to ensure its long-term conservation - include building fabric repairs and improvements that will ensure water ingress is prevented. Lost features will also be reinstated, and a range of other improvements will be carried out to preserve the asset and enhance the visitor experience throughout the building. The works at Kilwinning Abbey Tower are being funded by a range of sources including internal Council budgets, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and the Scottish Government’s Place Based Investment Programme. The allocation of Crown Estates funding will maximise the level of external investment in the project and provide additional contingency funding due to the nature of the works.

Please keep an eye on social media posts by Kilwinning Heritage where we will keep you up to date with the progress.
