We had an utterly fantastic experience riding these wonderful horses on Ayr beach, helped by a beautifully sunny day. John and his team were brilliant - ensuring we were safe, but enabling us to have a thrilling 2-hour ride. I would definitely recommend.

My wife and I (and our little 5 month old) really enjoyed doing the Abandoned Academy room today. Some really nice touches including nods to some local history, attention to detail with the items in the room and a satisfying logic to it all once you work it out. Really friendly and welcoming while managing the necessary COVID procedures. Would definitely recommend!

Scottish Dark Sky Observatory

The Scottish Dark Sky Observatory occupies a fantastic hilltop site on the edge of the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park. This publically accessible educational observatory has some of the darkest skies in the UK and two large telescopes through which to observe the night sky. The Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park was the first Dark Sky Park in the UK and Europe, and was award a Gold-tier status by the International Dark-Sky Association. This new observatory includes a 20” Corrected Dall Kirkham telescope in a 5 metre dome and a 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for a more hands-on, open air observing experience.

The correspondence on booking a slot was easy and friendly. After reading the other reviews I got really worried about the track leading to the observatory, as long as people realise they are in a forest, and take it slow, follow the very good directions given by the observatory, it's fine. My little mazda had no problems. It was a bit cloudy but we still got to see the moon, a planet ( venus ) and a star. We've all seen the moon, and pictures, but once you see the detail it's like your the first person to see it! David, the astronomer was full of knowledge. The woman that has been mentioned as being rude and miserable was far from it, friendly and engaging. Lots of things to look at, a real piece of moon rock, a small gift shop. Planetarium had lay back chairs, were you watch videos , then David points out what to look out for, Thoroughly enjoyable, definitely wrap up warm.
