We had an utterly fantastic experience riding these wonderful horses on Ayr beach, helped by a beautifully sunny day. John and his team were brilliant - ensuring we were safe, but enabling us to have a thrilling 2-hour ride. I would definitely recommend.

Laigh Kirk

Reviewed By hairdy - Preston, United Kingdom

The current church, the third on the site, was built in 1802. The first church was built in the 17th century and was replaced in 1750, then there was a terrible accident in 1801 when parts of the church collapsed on the larger than usual congregation. It is mentioned by Robert Burns in his poems, so thought that he visited. There are Covenanters graves in the churchyard, and the beautiful stained glass windows are worth admiring. In normal circumstances you can visit between 12 and 2 pm Mon, Wed, Fri. The wee statue of Johnnie Walker is just outside

Spirit of Scotland Monument

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Two battles were fought here in the Wars of Scottish Independence, a 1307 victory led by Robert the Bruce and one considered unhistorical by William Wallace. It look like Wallace won because this monument has sculpture depicting a silhouette of Wallace. At 5 metres high, it's a bit exaggerated.

New Milns Ski and Sports Complex

Reviewed By Elizabethmcnaughtx - Ayrshire, United Kingdom

Fantastic fun ! We were stuck as a family as to what to do over the holidays after doing all the usual things.... and stumbled across here online and thought why not! Well what great fun we all had! Me my wife and kids all tane part and was fantastic family fun and extremely good value for money! The staff couldn’t be more helpful. Only thing I found was it became rather exhausting pulling your big tyre up that hill but I tane a few breaks in between but the kids never seemed to have an issue with it just us adults... definitely a good workout as well as fun! The full family slept that night! I’ll definitely be back in the good weather with my family and would highly recommend it to anyone.
