10 Outdoor Activities in South Ayrshire That You Shouldn't Miss

July 5, 2021 Nicolette Lion

The village of Alloway is home to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and the Robert Burns Heritage Trail. Highlights of the trail include Auld Kirk Alloway, Burns Cottage, Burns Monument Gardens and the 13th century Brig O'Doon. South of Alloway along the attractive A719 coastal road is Culzean Castle and Country Park which offers much of interest all ages. En route is an unusual roadside attraction called Electric Brae, a 'magnetic hill' where a car left out of gear will appear to go uphill due to an optical illusion. A few minutes drive from Culzean Castle is the famous Open Golf championship course at Turnberry where the clubhouse is open to the public.

Trump Turnberry Golf Courses

Reviewed By leewagmeister - Newburgh, United States

If ever you make a trip to scotland, the Alisa course at Turnberry is the best of the ones I had the pleasure of playing. Yes it costs more than most courses in Ireland except for St. Andrews but it is worth it. I played 10 courses when i visited Scotland and this was easily the best of them all. Each hole is unique and challenging. The water can be seen from each hole which makes it scenic. There are risk and reward shots. There are undulating greens but fair. The whole experience makes this one of the best courses in the world.

Lovely flat walk, which for an arthritis sufferer makes life a bit easier. Beautiful scenery along the front of Ayr and we were blessed with a gorgeous sunny autumn day.
