there is a community council in irvine. however, unlike counterparts elsewhere in scotland, it opts not to use 'royal burgh of' in its title. the motto used on the coat of arms of the royal burgh is 'tandem bona causa triumphat.' this means "the good cause triumphs in the end". the westminster constituency of central ayrshire is currently held by the scottish national party. the member of parliament is philippa whitford. the scottish parliament constituency of cunninghame south is also held by the scottish national party. the member of the scottish parliament is margaret burgess.
