The Central Scotland / Strathclyde / Ayrshire region


The historic conservation village of Alloway is a short walk from the beaches of Ayr. The bustling county town of Ayr is popular with visitors for its many shops, cobbled pedestrianised walkways, as well as hotels/pubs and coffee houses. Nearby Culzean Castle is well worth a visit to explore its magnificent interior as well as the gardens and swan pond.
The Ayr / Alloway area
The wonderful open golf courses of Royal Troon (venue for the 2004 open championship), Turnberry (upcoming venue for 2009 open championship) and Prestwick (scene of the worlds first ever Open Championship) are but a few minutes drive away from Tam O' Shanter Cottage. This lovely apartment is ideal for a holiday, or longer let at any time of the year, with the historic village of Alloway, a short walk from the beaches of Ayr.
