Ayrshire attractions
The Isle of Arran is a popular destination and can be reached by ferry from the town of Ardrossan. The island provides the opportunity for hiking through the glacial valley of Glen Rosa and the climbing of Goat Fell, the highest peak on the island. Arran has successfully been marketed as 'Scotland in Miniature' due to the quaint nature of its settlements.
Alloway contains a number of attractions related to the poet Robert Burns, who was born in the town. The thatched cottage in which he was born and the Church and Bridge (Brig O'Doon) which feature in the poem 'Tam O'Shanter' can all be visited, in addition to a museum celebrating the poet's works. Alloway is located a short distance from the larger town of Ayr.
Culzean Castle and its country park constitute one of southern Scotland's most visited attractions. The castle is easily reached by bus from Ayr (a distance of 12 miles) and provides historic attractions combined with attractive views of the Ayrshire coast.
