Ropes, harness and a complex system of ladders were all part of the rigmarole to assess the condition of the Trinity Church spire.  Work has been carried out on the building recently to make it wind and watertight.

You can make the ascent with Murray as he heads skywards. Get the pigeon's eye view - see the spire and Irvine town as you've never seen it before.

Patrick Wiggins, Chief Executive of Irvine Bay Regeneration Company, said: “Trinity Church is a landmark building on a prominent site that has, over a number of years, been allowed to fall into a state of severe disrepair. Working with our partners, North Ayrshire Council and Trinity Church Trust, we have made a significant investment in getting the building much better suited for future development, and we will be marketing the building as a fantastic development opportunity."
