This morning, we visit the delightful seaside town of Troon on the Ayrshire coast. Enjoy time to stroll along the promenade or relax by the sea with stunning views of the Isle of Arran, before returning to the hotel for a leisurely afternoon.
After a relaxed start, why not join us on an optional afternoon coastal tour? Experience the fascinating Electric Brae natural phenomenon, visit Alloway - birthplace of Robert Burns - with entry to the Burns Birthplace Museum, and spend time in the historic seaside resort of Ayr on the Firth of Clyde.
Enjoy a full-day tour of the Isle of Arran, often called 'Scotland in Miniature' for its diverse scenery. After travelling via ferry (keeping your eyes peeled for marine wildlife along the way), we take in mountains, beaches, and glens as we explore island highlights including Lochranza and Blackwaterfoot, with free time in the 'capital' of Brodick before returning to the mainland.
We return home.
