East Ayrshire Tourist Information
Welcome to East Ayrshire ...
The rolling countryside of picturesque East Ayrshire has a long and rich history, as seen in the castles, monuments and industrial heritage sites which dot the landscape.
Major towns include busy Kilmarnock, which thrived on the textile industries of the 19th century, and Cumnock, known for coal mining and ironworks. Both have fine Victorian buildings and boast excellent museums and galleries.
The village of Mauchline is a place of pilgrimage for followers of Robert Burns. The poet lived and worked here in his most productive years, and it houses a museum dedicated to his life.
The scenic valleys of East Ayrshire have been used as transport links across Scotland for centuries. Today you can walk in the footsteps of Wallace and Burns along the beautiful River Ayr Way. Scotland's first source to sea path network, this was opened in 2006 and is a great way to explore the countryside. To the south, Loch Doon near Dalmellington also offers beautiful scenery.
