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.

Fantastic beach visit today - beautiful broad sandy beach, shallow entrance into the water and sand dunes to shelter from the breeze. No problem social distancing. Easy access via Smugglers Trail.

Went to the beachfront with our grandsons 6 + 3 1/2 and they had a ball. Pirate playground was fantastic. Plenty to keep them amused. Pity there’s not this available at all beach fronts.

Another revisit after easing on lockdown car park was very busy but a few spaces available. Has a picnic on a glorious sunny day with a wee chill breeze. Views across to Arran were fantastic. Great to see loads of families maintaining social distance and hopefully like us thoroughly enjoying themselves. Walked out to Western Gailes golf course and back

Prestwick beach is a great beach to visit, even for the locals too. Prestwick beach maybe small though don't let that surprise you! Prestwick beach widnes itself across onto Troon beach, on a dry day you can walk straight across the Pow Burn which is situated at the far side of Prestwick beach, joining onto Troon beach. Around 1 hour walking distance along the golden sand ???? in a nice sunny day. Surrounded by Sea, sand and ofcourse the famous golf course - Royal Troon. Spectacular scenery along Prestwick and Troon beach, brushing of these cobwebs lol, with Prestwick beach on your travel, it has a play activity centre and outdoor play area for kids, a sailing club, beach cafe, local hotel which is situated right on the beach front with an outdoor beer garden, ok for summer time lol, b&b's. Troon also has the same amenities etc.
