North Ayrshire (Sìorrachd Inbhir Air a Tuath in Gaelic) is one of 32 unitary council areas in Scotland. The mainland portion of it lies in the traditional county of Ayrshire, and borders onto the areas of Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, East Ayrshire, and South Ayrshire. It also contains the Isle of Arran (in the traditional county of Buteshire) and some other islands of the lower Firth of Clyde, including Great Cumbrae and Little Cumbrae.
The area was created in 1996 and is a successor to the district of Cunninghame.
