Ayrshire & Dumfries & Galloway
Situated on the dramatic west coast, Ayrshire
and the Isle of Arran has so much to offer.
Beautiful scenery, fascinating history, outdoor activities,
some of the finest golf courses in the world, superb
accommodation, castles, beautiful gardens and bustling market
towns.
A little further south, on this fine corner of Scotland
is the unspoilt beauty of Dumfries & Galloway. Take a walk
along the deserted beaches where Robert Burns journeyed
on horseback to catch whisky smugglers or stroll through the
rugged grandeur of the Galloway Forest Park, 300 square
miles of forest, moorland and lochs where you're more likely to see
a deer or bird of prey than another human being.
Admire the ancient ruined castles and monuments that set the
imagination alight with their whispered hints of what life
used to be like, or simply snuggle up in front of a huge open
fire and enjoy the utter relaxation that being away from it
all brings.
Ayrshire & the Isle of Arran
Ayrshire and the stunning Isle of Arran are a mecca for all
golfers with over forty quality courses, including
no fewer than three Open Championship golf courses.
It is also the proud home to some of the most prestigious
heritage and visitor attractions that Scotland has
to offer.
Ancient castles, beautiful country parks and gardens,
bustling market towns and award-winning visitor attractions
are all to hand and set in awe-inspiring scenery. The
spectacular granite mountains, ancient stone circles and the
sheltered waters of the Firth of Clyde act as a magnet for
walkers, cyclists, fishermen and sailing
enthusiasts alike.
It is also the birthplace of world-renowned poet Robert
Burns, and there are plentiful reminders of the man and his
world to explore here. The Isle of Arran,
reached by ferry from Ardrossan, is known as “Scotland in
miniature”. A fascinating and surprising island, it has
an unrivalled range of landscapes, covering the whole spectrum
of Scottish scenery in one delightfully compact package.
Dumfries & Galloway
Dumfries & Galloway, with over 200 miles of coastline you'll discover
stunning cliff top walks or leisurely strolls along
sandy beaches. Few people remain unmoved by the unspoilt
beauty of this corner of Scotland. Take a walk along
the deserted beaches where Robert Burns journeyed on horseback to
catch whisky smugglers or stroll through the rugged
grandeur of the Galloway Forest Park, 300 square miles
of forest, moorland and lochs where you're more likely
to see a deer or bird of prey than another human being.
Admire the ancient ruined castles and monuments that set the
imagination alight with their whispered hints of what life used to
be like, or simply snuggle up in front of a huge open fire and
enjoy the utter relaxation that being away from it all brings.
But if your preference is to get out rather than chill
out, then
Dumfries and Galloway also has a fantastic range of
places of interest, activities and sports to enjoy.
The area is a mecca for golfers, cyclists, walkers,
and sea and game anglers. You'll also find some real
hidden gems here: a colourful Tibetan Buddhist monastery
in the east of the region and Wigtown,
Scotland's National Book Town in the west, a feast
for the eye in Kirkcudbright Artists‚ Town and a real treat for
the tastebuds in nearby Castle Douglas, the food
town. |
