It was lovely to take part in the service to mark 250 years of current #Irvine Old Parish church.

The service demonstrated #Irvine Old’s strong connections with the local community, with representatives from many key civic groups from Incorporated Trade Guilds to Burns Clubs.

My thanks for always making me feel welcome, over the last 9 years as your MP, and I was delighted to lay an Early Day Motion at Westminster to mark the occasion.
