Situated in the firth of Clyde, to the southwest of Scotland, Ayr is the biggest county, port and a town in Ayrshire all told. Being also a centre of administration for southern Ayrshire council area this port town supports nearly 46,000 people.
Towns like Prestwick, famous for its golf and aviation as well as Glasgow Prestwick international airport, and Alloway, famous for its association with Robert Burns adjoin Ayr but fail to overshadow it. It was one of four Scottish towns and counties to compete for the title of city in Queen Elizabeth's golden jubilee commemoration in 2002, though the title was won by Stirling.
Ayr is a land of rich history, since the time the first castle was built by the riverside of Ayr; a burgh was soon built by King William I of Scotland in 1205. Ayr held the honors to hold the first parliament in Scotland in 1315. In times past, Ayr was once more commonly called Invenrair/Invenrayr and the name still holds in some Scottish dialects.
Being a riverside town very near to the coast, the county of Ayr enjoys very mildewed weather. The close proximity of the sea ensures that winters in Ayr are mild and summers here are cool. Most of the land in the county is flat and low, though the outlying land to the south a bit more elevated than the all the rest of Ayrshire. Due to the flat terrain, there is close to no chance of fog or mist settling in, even snowfall in Ayr is a rare happening.
The town has three main roads serving to connect it from outside world. It has its own railway station connecting to various cities in Scotland. Just two miles from Ayr is located the Glasgow Prestwick international airport, connecting to various cities across Europe and only 35 miles away lies the Glasgow airport which operates farther international destinations.
Ayr is a well connected county; three main roads serve as connections to the outside world. Ayr has its own functional railway station and though ferry service is not yet available, traveling via air is possible through Glasgow Prestwick international airport just two miles farther. Though most of the European destinations are thus accessible, the Glasgow international airport just 35 miles away allows accessibility too many other destinations across the world.
Improvements to the county of Ayr are slow but constant; tourists can enjoy the beach with various facilities including shelters, pleasure cruises, lavatory accommodation, sea wall, sweet meat machines as well as bath machines. For sure Ayr is the most favorite tourism spot in the area save perhaps Glasgow.
