About Ayr:
Golf:
Ayrshire is the birthplace of Open Golf, with Open Championship courses
at Troon and Turnberry, and the site of the very first British Open at
Prestwick.
Culzean Castle:
Like a storybook castle, this fantastic example of Robert Adam's genius
stands dramatically on a cliff with superb views across the sea to the
mountains of the Island of Arran.
Between 1777 and 1792 Adam converted an old fortified towercastle for David Kennedy, the 10th Earl of Cassillis , creating at Culzean (pronounced "Cullane") probably the finest Georgian castle in Scotland. Its Circular Saloon and Oval Staircase are acknowledged as Adam's final masterpiece.
Dunaskin Open Air Museum:
Set in a 110 acre site amidst the picturesque scenery of the Doon Valley.
The site was originally an ironworks, built around 1850, and today it
tells the story of the ironworks, coal mining and brickworks at Dunaskin
through the eyes of the people who lived and worked there.
Robert Burns:
Travel back in time to Robert Burns Cottage and visit the Burns family.
See the world's most important Robert Burns collection in the Museum.
