Hidden gems and scenic views are scattered around Ayrshire setting the scene for romance. From castle ruins overlooking golden sand to secret gardens dedicated to Rabbie Burns himself, the west coast has it all!

 

Robert Burns Monuments & Gardens

Where better to watch the leaves change colour this autumn than the stunning, secret gardens dedicated to Rabbie Burns? Pack a warm flask, some sandwiches, a blanket and enjoy a romantic picnic within beautiful scenery.

You can climb up the monument staircase to take in the spectacular views of Alloway and the surrounding landscape, and then enjoy a stroll around the landscaped gardens. Here the rose is a main feature, in homage to Burns’s famous poem.

‘… a Moniment tae mind o the Ayrshire Bard, whaur he souched his furst braith, an in the airt whaur his genius wis reart an git muckle…. shall be pit up at or nearaboot the Place o his Burth.
