The first document in the printed burgh records puports to be of 1205 but cannot be authentic as it stands and more probably dates to 1295. Irvine did have a charter from Alexander II, and this is the earliest evidence of burghal status, 1214 x 1249. It may have been dependant on Alan, lord of Galloway and passed to one or all of his coheiresses; it fell to Edward I in, or shortly before, 1304. It was subsequently granted by Robert I to the Stewarts and hence was recognised in 1372 as a royal burgh.
