About Bourtreehill

Bourtreehill, a substantial housing estate developed by the Irvine Development Corporation in the late 1970s, is comprised of two distinct areas: Bourtreehill North and Bourtreehill South. Located within the Irvine New Town in North Ayrshire, the estate is bordered to the south by the Broomlands estate. Although Bourtreehill South has faced challenges with anti-social behaviour, increased police and Community Warden Patrols have helped reduce incidents. Nonetheless, the area continues to struggle with limited employment opportunities, which may impact future planning considerations.
