Travel back in time in Robert Burns Cottage and visit the Burns family. See the world's most important Robert Burns collection in the Museum. Walk in the footsteps of Tam O'Shanter in "Alloway's auld haunted kirk" and across auld Brig O'Doon, where Tam's mare, Meg had her narrow escape from the witches. With free parking, gift shops and licensed restaurant, as well as a full programme of events including the annual Burns festival, Burns National Heritage Park offers a year-round chance for all the family to experience the pride, passion and power of Robert Burns.

Culzean Castle

Just 10 miles away like a storybook castle, this fantastic example of Robert Adam's genius stands dramatically on a cliff with superb views across the sea to the mountains of the Island of Arran.

Between 1777 and 1792 Adam converted an old fortified towercastle for David Kennedy, the 10th Earl of Cassillis, creating at Culzean (pronounced "Cullane") probably the finest Georgian castle in Scotland. Its Circular Saloon and Oval Staircase are acknowledged as Adam's final masterpiece.

Loudoun Castle is firmly established as an action packed value day out for all the family and one of Scotland's premier leisure destinations. Situated in over 500 acres of beautiful countryside and with the imposing, historical castle as a stunning backdrop it offers a stimulating, fun and friendly environment, with lots of variety.

Isle Of Arran
