Dr Henry Faulds, the originator of the forensic use of fingerprinting as a means to identify criminals, was born in Beith in 1843.
It was also home to many world-famous cabinet works, such as Stevenson and Higgins.
Beith also has its own golf course (the 8th hardest amateur course in Britain), two Church of Scotland churches, 102nd Scout Group, and modern Primary school. The Royal Navy also maintains an armament depot, RNAD Beith, in the area.
