Ayr is a lovely seaside town on the Ayrshire coast some miles from Glasgow. You can get to Ayr by train or car and it has something for everyone tastes. If itts a nice day you have the beach then a short stroll to a large swing park with a picnic area. this is a busy park as it seems to be the central meeting place for all the bus tours and it has attractions in it for all areas. Just up a bit you have pirate petes a large soft play area where the kids could easily spend many hours getting rid of excess energy. There are some amusement arcades outside of pirate petes. Lots of lovely bistros and restaurants in Ayr have to say the Indians at the end of the main street upstairs is delicious.
Some of the other attractions in or around Ayr include Culzean Castle and country park entrance fee is a little steep but well worth it. Some lovely wee walks round the castle.

Ayr is a nice seaside town on Scotland''s Ayrshire coast. It has a sandy beach, with a swing park behind next to a large grassy area-good for youngsters to burn off some energy! This area has the traditional sea front stalls and vans, selling ice creams and hot dogs etc and there is a fish and chip shop next to the amusements. A short walk takes you to the town centre and this has a mix of traditional Scottish shops and the more well known high street ones such as Asda and Topshop. There are lots of places to eat in Ayr from the fantastic Wellington fish and chip shop (be prepared to queue on warm days or bank Holidays!) to the JD Wetherspoons which is a converted church and has it''s own beer garden. A short bus or taxi ride takes you to Ayr Racecourse and this is a great day out. Ayr has many attractions close by including Craig Tara, which was previously Butlins and this has it''s own caravan park or chalets where you can stay. All in all, Ayr has lots to do and see and has something for most age groups- if only the Scottish weather could be guaranteed!

Ayr is located in the firth of the clyde in the west of Scotland. Ayr is in south Ayrshire approximately 30 minutes from Glasgow. it has good road links with the access from Edinbury on the A70, from prestwick airport to ayr on a79 and now a motorway m77 going into glasgow. the coastal routes although longer are much nicer if you are out for a drive rather than being in a hurry. There is also a railway station in which you can catch the train to Glasgow or down to Newcastle. If travelling from Glasgow you can also get to ayr by bus.
Ayr has a long stretch of sandy beech. the sea front can get busy when it is a nice sunny day. The beach when i was there was clean enough! there is a large grass area and many take their travelling rugs and sit with a picnic. there is a relatively good play park i say relatively as it is always busy whenever we have gone. the shops are a bit of a walk from the sea front but there is parking closer to the shops if you don''t want to walk. the shops are quite good there is a subway which has some tables outside which we utilised and as it was a nice day. there is an h&m, debenhams, boots and other shops.
there is also a leisure centre and ayr has its own football team and rugby club. Ayr also has a race course which is home to the Scottish Grand National which runs in April. As with most places there are a number of schools and various types of accommodation to stay in from hotels to b&b''s.
