Why Ayrshire?
Ayrshire, the birthplace of Robert Burns and the home of rolling
green hills, makes a superb base for cyclists, avid walkers,
golfers, and those who enjoy sight-seeing. Test your stamina with
an uphill trek, delve into deep, dark woods or visit cascading
waterfalls to see Scotland's gems. Lodges in Ayrshire are great
for a coastal escape, where the little ones can let off steam on
the fine, sandy beaches and paddle in crystal clear waters. Hop
aboard the Waverly, a magnificent old paddle steamer and enjoy a
leisurely cruise. Love sailing? The Firth of Clyde is naturally
sheltered and offers wonderful conditions - and there are three
outstanding marinas at Largs, Ardrossan and Troon. For more
