Segdoune Queens from 1947. No Queens 1954-76

Segdoune is an ancient name for Kilwinning, possibly meaning "Saint's town". Margaret Simpson was crowned the first Segdoune Queen in McGavin Park in 1947 following a carnival and fancy dress parade, complete with decorated floats and a Pipe band. The event was organised by the British legion, the Town Council and Kilwinning Co-op, and was held to raise funds for the Welcome Home Committee, the money going to help members of the Armed Forces demobbed after WW2.

Nowadays, the Queen is crowned in a ceremony in this square in the Main Street.
