Golf
Ayrshire
is the birthplace of Open
Golf, with Open Championship courses at Troon and Turnberry,
and the site of the very first British Open at Prestwick.
We
are happy to help you arrange your golf outing, and my husband
Billy would, I am sure, be delighted to personally show
you round some of the local courses.

Culzean
Castle
Like
a storybook castle, this fantastic example of Robert Adam's
genius stands dramatically on a cliff with superb views
across the sea to the mountains of the Island of Arran.
Between 1777 and 1792 Adam converted an old fortified towercastle
for David Kennedy, the 10th Earl of Cassillis , creating
at Culzean (pronounced "Cullane") probably the finest Georgian
castle in Scotland. Its Circular Saloon and Oval Staircase
are acknowledged as Adam's final masterpiece.

of the people who lived and worked there.
