Girvan

Girvan is a large town situated in South Ayrshire and is a popular visitor destination. There are plenty of activities to do but also quiet scenic spots, including great views of Ailsa Craig and great walking trails in Carrick Forest. In the town centre, a popular day out is Stumpy Tower. Originally built as a prison, today it displays great historical exhibits for all the family to enjoy. There are also plenty of great restaurants and shops around to enjoy.

Many come for annual events such as the Girvan RNLI harbour gala. This takes place each summer, usually in July, and has music, stalls and a fun fair. The Girvan Folk Music Festival takes place on the first weekend of May each year, featuring the Girvan folk music club. The Lowland Gathering takes place on the first Sunday of June each year in the Victory Park in the centre of the town.
