Ayrshire, on the southwest coast of Scotland has always been a popular short break destination. Our stunning coastline, and golden sandy beaches, are also popular destinations for locals and visitors to the area. For the romantic, our sunsets are amongst some of the most beautiful in the world and as a traditional seaside town, children are well catered for with an indoor play area for wet days, a large outdoor play area, crazy golf and lots of ice cream vendors on hand.

Across the water from Ayr’s golden beach is the stunning Isle of Arran. A short ferry crossing from Ardrossan to Brodick, Arran has many offerings for walkers and climbers, cyclists, whisky enthusiasts and Castle baggers to name but a few.

Ayrshire also boasts Culzean Castle and Dumfries House. Both architecturally stunning buildings with fascinating histories and extensive grounds to enjoy a full day’s entertainment. And of course, Ayrshire cannot be mentioned without thought of Robert Burns our National Bard, whose history can be explored at the Robert Burns visitor centre and Burns cottage in Alloway.
