Only 37 miles away from Glasgow, Ayr is a charming seaside resort town with plenty of hotels, restaurants, and other tourist amenities. The highlight of the town is its long sandy beach, which is perfect for lounging in the sun, building sand castles, or taking a leisurely stroll. A children's playground makes the beach a great destination for families, and there is no shortage of parking on the road that runs along the esplanade. When you've had your fill of sun and surf, you can head to the Ayr racetrack, which dates back to the 1500s and holds plenty of meetings all year round.
