Things to do in South Ayrshire, Scotland: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

October 12, 2021 Janette Largent

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.

Had been looking online for a large picture for hallway but couldn't choose between 2 or 3 I liked. Decided to visit the shop in Ayr & was served by a very helpful member of staff who clearly knew the merchandise well & offered sound advice. Ended up purchasing a large framed print, 2 cushions & 2 coffee mugs! One very satisfied customer. Thank you for your patience & help.
