Coverage of Irvine's Marymass Festival Parade for 2010 including some clips of the current and past Queens. The Marymass Festival has been running for many years and organised by the Carter's Society Irvine, Scotland, created a Royal Burgh in 1372 by Robert II, was a major West of Scotland seaport before the dredging of the Clyde. In the 18th c., it was the largest burgh in Ayrshire (1775: pop. 3000). Today, Irvine hosts the HQ of North Ayrshire Council, and Ardagh (Rockware Glass). The town enjoys a vibrant community spirit (with active Burns Club, two Rotary Clubs and Trades Guilds incorporated in 1646), and the week-long Marymass Festival in August. Robert Burns worked here in 1781-82. Irvine's burgh status ended in 1975 with local government reorganisation. The population of Irvine is about 22,000. Apart from Irvine Scotland, there are other towns named Irvine. To see other films about Irvine and Marymass Festival visit Coast-tv.com
