Glasgow people would have their summer holidays on the Clyde coast . Ayr for the Fair was a famous saying during the preflight day. Ayr now a popular day trip town.
Ayr is a coastal town which lies on the mouth of the River Ayr . The river then flows out into the larger Firth of Clyde. From the coast Arran can be seen and on a very clear day, the north tip of Northern Ireland. It is within the region of Strathclyde. Much of the land in and around this area is very flat and low lying. Much of the land however towards the south of Ayr is higher than most areas in the county of Ayrshire. Ayr lies approximately 35 miles southwest of Glasgow

25th of January is the Birthday of our National Bard.A major event in Scotland, and also a chance to toast Robert Burns. Haggis,neeps and tatties are special and a nip to round it off.
We had lunch in the Weatherspoon`s bar Kirk in Ayr town centre.
The West Kirk was built in 1845 and was a former Free Church until 1929 and from then onwards till it's closure in 1981 was the Sandgate Church. Now a public house.

Robert Burns was born on January 25, 1759, in Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland. Happy birthday Rabbie After Queen Victoria and Christopher Columbus, Burns has more statues commemorating him round the world than any other non-religious figure.
The Brig o' Doon is a single arched bridge crossing the River Doon. Experts think it was first built in the 1400s. The bridge was rebuilt in the 1700s.
