Introducing Ayrshire
Ayrshire is synonymous with golf and with Robert Burns – and there’s plenty on offer here to satisfy both of these pursuits. Troon has six golf courses for starters, and plenty of yachties, and there’s enough Burns memorabilia in the region to satisfy his most fanatic admirers.

This region’s main drawcard though is the irresistible Isle of Arran. With a gourmet culinary scene, atmospheric watering holes (and some of the best beer gardens in the country), and the most varied and scenic countryside of the southern Hebridean islands, this easily accessible island shouldn’t be missed.
Back on the mainland, retro holiday towns by the seaside, such as Largs, give Ayrshire a unique flavour, while towns such as Irvine provide a link to the region’s maritime heritage. There’s also spectacular coastal scenery, best admired at Culzean Castle, one of the finest stately homes in the country.
