Best time to travel
Set on Scotland’s west coast, Ayrshire is at its most charming from May to September. The mild weather is ideal for golf on celebrated courses such as Turnberry and Royal Troon. That said, in Scotland it is always wise to expect a little rain too, with around twelve rainy days a month depending on the season, even in summer. At times, you may experience sunshine, cloud and showers all in a single day. Yet just as quickly as the rain arrives, it often passes again.
