Whitelee Windfarm Visitor Centre

Mixing the old with the new, your first stop will be Whitelee Wind Farm. You’ll get to see what was the largest on-shore turbine farm in Europe - which generates enough power for 300,000 homes! It’s very impressive to see these spectacular wind turbines up close.

Ayrshire (pass by)

Culzean Castle and Country Park

With its truly spectacular cliff-side location, Culzean Castle is truly as impressive as it sounds. The grounds are extensive, bursting with things to do. From deer parks to swan pools and a stunning, secluded beach, you could spend the entire day here.The castle also has many apartments and rooms, one of which was gifted to President Eisenhower to use whenever he wanted.*Entry to the castle is subject to operating hours, with the usual closure period spanning from January to mid-March.

Dunure Castle

As you drive along the coast to the next destination, you will get to see Dunure Castle. Another beautiful castle, with a fantastic cliff-side location, but this time you’ll see the silhouette of the ruined walls.There is also a rather great (yet gruesome!) story from the 1500s, when Earl Gilbert was trying to seize the lands and roasted the Commentator of Crossraguel on a spit over a fire… if you like this kind of story, your guide will no doubt tell you more.Or, if you’re an ‘Outlander’ fan, you might recognise Dunure Castle as the location where Claire and Jamie watch young Ian swim out to Silkies’ Island in Season 3.

Burns Cottage

The final location is all about the man himself: ‘Rabbie Burns’. Born and bred in Ayrshire, you will get to visit Burns’ family home and see the places that inspired his most famous poems and songs.Once you’ve marvelled at his handwritten manuscripts and poured over the 5,000 artefacts, we’ll take you back to Glasgow through the most scenic views once more.
