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 taste buds in nearby Castle Douglas, the food town.
