    Ayr is well known for its racecourse which is home to the Scottish Grand National every April as well as the Ayr Gold Cup in September. Its the top racecourse in Scotland and has more racing days than any other in Britain.

    At other times it also plays host to the annual Guy Fawkes fireworks display and a weekly Sunday market and car boot sale.

    St Andrews may be the "home of golf" but Ayrshire isn't doing too badly when it comes to golf courses. There are many municipal courses including Belleisle, Dalmilling, Prestwick, Maybole, Girvan etc as well as many private clubs not too mention the more well known courses at Turnberry (pictured) and Royal Troon, both of which played host to the British Open golf tournament during the 1990's. In fact it was at Prestwick Golf Club, in 1860, that the British Open was first played.

    Equipment: Golf Clubs might be handy :) But unless you are determined to stick out like a sore thumb as a tourist, leave the tartan trousers at home!
