After visiting the museum, Burns Cottage and Auld Kirk I love to spend a few hours just walking around, down to Brigadoon, then go up inside the monument to appreciate the views. When quiet this place is so peaceful, lots of benches to just sit and enjoy the views, beauty and peace of this special place
2. Bachelors' Club
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 43 reviews
Bachelors' Club has been restored to show how the building may have looked during Burns's time. This two-room house where Burns and his peers would meet regularly 'to forget their cares and labour in mirth and diversion' has its share of stories.
3. Lang Scots Mile

Lovely flat walk, which for an arthritis sufferer makes life a bit easier. Beautiful scenery along the front of Ayr and we were blessed with a gorgeous sunny autumn day.

My 3 children adored this in 2019. They had excellent tuition and the final day where they showed their acquired skills in a show was a delight. I hope they will run it again when the next two will be old enough to go.

Birthplace of poet Robert Burns.
Reviewed By svenskmum - Glasgow, United Kingdom
although we stay a 45 minute drive away, this was our first visit. This is a National Trust for Scotland property and I must say, very modern, bright, informative and the staff very friendly and helpful. The cafe was excellent, good home made products with prices cheaper than many other cafe in the area. The museum was very interesting with lots to see about our Rabbie. Then of course you can walk over to the Auld Kirk, Rabbie's birthplace, the monument and the Brig O' Doon. (the bridge over the river, not the hotel)you can spend an excellent few hours seeing and more than likely realising that Robert Burns contributed a lot more to our Scottish heritage than we knew. Even on a wet day it is a place to go to. There is also a children's outside play area when the weather is good. Helps the little ones from being too board with culture. The gift shop is well worth a visit. This is certainly a place where we shall visit again soon.
9. Carnegie Public Library

Historic library, architecturally significant. Local Archives, historic artifacts & artwork on display, History talks and walks. Free entry.
Reviewed By hairdy - Preston, United Kingdom
This is one of the most impressive Carnegie libraries in Scotland. Just a short walk over the old bridge from the centre. An impressive building with all it's original features, grand staircase, spectacular stained glass. It's good to see a community library very much used and obviously loved from the comments on here. It houses an interesting local history section which I will revisit when open properly, they welcome visitors and it is an asset to Ayr.
