Culzean Castle - Entrance Self Guided

Robert Adam’s cliff-top masterpiece rises above a world of woods, beaches, secret follies and play parks

• Discover 40 buildings and secret follies in this country park, including the magnificent cliff-top castle.

• Don’t miss Robert Adam’s Oval Staircase – the dramatic centrepiece of the castle.

• Explore the woods, beaches, parkland, Swan Pond, deer park and cliffs.

• Admire the enormous collection of flintlock pistols and military swords.

• Run wild in the Adventure Cove and Wild Woodland play areas.

This glorious 260ha estate was once the playground of David Kennedy, 10th Earl of Cassillis – a man who was keen to impress with his wealth and status. Opulent to the extreme, the park is planted with conifers and beech, sculpted around miles of sandy coastline dotted with caves, and finished off with a Swan Pond, an ice house, flamboyant formal gardens and fruit-filled glasshouses.

The castle itself is perched on the Ayrshire cliffs, incorporating everything the earl could wish for in his country home. It was designed by Robert Adam in the late 18th century and is filled to the turrets with treasures that tell the stories of the people who lived here.

Robert Burns Birthplace - Entrance Self Guided

Robert Burns Birthplace Museum offers a truly unique encounter with Scotland’s favourite son. Robert Burns is Scotland’s National Bard, and his poetry and songs are known and loved the world over. But who was he and what made him tick? The best place to get close to Burns and his genius is his birthplace in the beautiful village of Alloway. Our flagship museum starts a journey that weaves through the village, taking you from historical buildings to landmarks known to Burns.

Whether you’re a die-hard Burnsian or brand new to the bard, a day immersing yourself here will open your eyes and ears to an enduring hero of Scotland’s literary heritage.

Kitchen Coos & Ewes - Tour with Cuppa and Trio of Traybakes.

We’re passionate about sharing the joy and beauty of our Highland cows, which is why we created Kitchen Coos & Ewes. Whether you’re a visitor to the area or a lifelong Highland cattle fan, our tours offer an authentic, memorable experience.

Head out into the fields, in our safari trailer, along with other highland coo fans. There you will get a chance to groom some of our younger coos from the safety of our outdoor highland coo play-pen. Then, head out onto the hill to see the main herd being fed before returning to the farmyard for a cuppa and a trio of traybakes.
