What to do and see in South Ayrshire, Scotland: The Best Traveler Resources
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.

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.
