Not only is Ayrshire & Arran a mecca for all golfers with over 40 quality courses, including 3 Open Championship, it is also 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 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. No matter whether your preference is action packed outdoor pursuits or escaping the grind of everyday life with a quiet break you certainly won't go hungry - Ayrshire is also home to some of the finest and most individual restaurants around.
The Isle of Arran, located a 55min ferry crossing from Ardrossan, is very distinct from Ayrshire and is known as 'Scotland in miniature'. Rising dramatically from the Firth of Clyde, Arran's profile gives you a foretaste of what lies in store. A fascinating and surprising island that never ceases to exert its unique magic on visitors of all generations, it has an unrivalled range of landscapes, covering the whole spectrum of Scottish scenery in one delightfully compact package. It is big enough to offer a bewildering variety of activities yet small enough to retain its intimate island atmosphere. All of which adds up to a holiday destination that is as exciting as it is peaceful and as fascinating as it is fun
