Ayr (Scotland)

Ayr (port locode GBAYR) is on the Ayr River's southern bank on the Atlantic Coast of Scotland. Ayr is in the heart of Robert Burns' country and has much to praise.

Ayr features a 17th-century church (Ayr Auld Kirk) and the 16th-century Loudon Hall. There are three golf courses.

South of Ayr is Alloway, where Robert Burns was born. The Robert Burns Centre in the village houses Burns Cottage (scene of the poet's birth), Burns Interpretation Centre and Burns Monument & Gardens.

From Ayr, cruisers can also visit the perched high above Firth of Clyde Culzean Castle, considered one of the most romantic castles in Scotland with splendid gardens. Crossraguel Abbey, Threave Gardens and Drumlanrig Castle are all located nearby. Glasgow is just 30 miles away.
