5 Walking Tours in South Ayrshire That You Shouldn't Miss

October 13, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

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.

Really enjoyed the tour, a lovely way to spend an afternoon. The cheeses were delicious, and the guides informative. We were lucky with the weather, which helped a lot! Enjoyed the fizz too.
