Ayrshire is the heart of Burns’ Country and is steeped in tradition and history. The Ayrshire Coastal Path is a 100-mile-long coastal walk with one of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles.
Crowned with a superb backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, otters and seals; it is also a haven for bird watchers. Culzean Castle, owned by the National Trust for Scotland, is spectacular and is Ayrshire’s most popular tourist attraction.

We had a wonderful time at Mcgill Cottage on Yonderton farm. The owners were very attentive, and answered all questions promptly. The cottage itself is beautiful and well stocked with everything you need. The views of the farm from the property are fantastic, even on rainy cold days it’s a great hub to relax or enjoy family time. I would highly recommend this property to anyone exploring this area.
