More space, less pace
The South Ayrshire coastline is an ideal base for family holidays, with long stretches of sandy beach, ancient castles, beautiful country parks and award-winning visitor attractions. Golf is another major attraction, particularly around Troon, which has six courses. Don’t miss the Burns National Heritage Park – the Bard was born at Alloway, near Ayr – or the stunning Isle of Arran, reached by ferry from Ardrossan. East Lothian provides an equally attractive coastline. There’s culture, shopping and sight-seeing galore in Edinburgh, whilst out to North Berwick you’ll find the Scottish Seabird Centre, a 14th century coastal fortress, boat trips to Bass Rock, and great beaches at Seacliff and Gullane - a superlative sweep of sand with a Championship golf course nearby, just one of many in the region.
