Ayrshire
A Land of Poems and Stories
Stories. It's how we communicate.
A picture of an old Scottish gentleman walking the moorlands outside his home town. A recount of a hilarious encounter we had while travelling solo. A bedtime story for our children, the same one we grew up on.
Ayrshire is a storyteller.
She's a romantic. A passionate traveller, a lover of history, brimming with stunning vistas. What will you fall in love with first? The opulent architecture? The beautiful verses of Robert Burns. That killer view?
Step away from the beaten track. Listen for new stories. Seek out the lesser-known. Hunt for boast-worthy tales.
Ayrshire won't disappoint.
