After visiting the museum, Burns Cottage and Auld Kirk I love to spend a few hours just walking around, down to Brigadoon, then go up inside the monument to appreciate the views. When quiet this place is so peaceful, lots of benches to just sit and enjoy the views, beauty and peace of this special place

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.

A small indy record store with a big heart. Pop in for a chat and check out our selection of old vinyl in perfect condition and new stuff too. We also sell CDs and DVDs.

Historic library, architecturally significant. Local Archives, historic artifacts & artwork on display, History talks and walks. Free entry.
Reviewed By hairdy - Preston, United Kingdom
This is one of the most impressive Carnegie libraries in Scotland. Just a short walk over the old bridge from the centre. An impressive building with all it's original features, grand staircase, spectacular stained glass. It's good to see a community library very much used and obviously loved from the comments on here. It houses an interesting local history section which I will revisit when open properly, they welcome visitors and it is an asset to Ayr.

10. Ayrshire Coastal Path
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
The Ayrshire Coastal Path runs 100 miles along the Ayrshire coast, through the main towns of Ayr, Troon and Largs. The scenery is stunning, with views across to the Isle of Arran and beyond. You will spot a huge variety of wildlife including seals, basking sharks, otters, roe deer, and foxes. The Official Guidebook lists sections of around 7 miles each, allowing manageable walks for most people.

We only did part of this walk as we were looking for the kindness stone path/fairytrail, at the opposite of girvan river but we discovered amazing views and quiet little picnic areas and loads of wildlife. This as made us want return to explore more of the ayrshire coastal path, I have ordered by guide book! (Guide book available on amazon or ayrshire coastal path website)
