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.
