Things to Do
Ayrshire
Ayrshire is where niamh and her family are based, in a small village called Fairlie on the west coast of Scotland. It is small but very picturesque
Ferry to Millport, Arran, Bute and Northern Ireland
Being so close to the water means that we have excellent ferry routes to the Isle of Arran, Isle of Bute, a little island called Millport and a major ferry link to Northern Ireland!
Golf Courses
We are extremely lucky to be close to many beautiful, very rugged golf courses. Including Prestwick, Troon, Largs and Skelmorlie. Further afield and up near Loch Lomond (where we are getting married) there are other beautiful courses. There is also St Andrews which is about 3hrs from Niamh’s home and Turnberry, about an hour away.
Largs and other seaside towns
Largs is a picturesque town about 10 minutes from Niamh’s home. Within about a 1hrs radius there is lots of beautiful coral times where you can eat fresh fish and chips and take in the view (if it doesn’t rain)
Glasgow
In this instance, West is most definitely best! Well according to Niamh it is (she definitely prefers Glasgow to Edinburgh). There is so much to do in Glasgow. Below is a few suggestions
Buchanan Street
Glasgow is a brilliant town to shop in. Buchanan Street has loads of British high street brands and great restraunts like The Ivy. You can get the train from pretty much anywhere, including Fairlie and It’s only a 45 min drive from Loch Lomond
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Niamh and Ty had one of their very first dates here. A beautiful gallery full of natural history, art collections and sculptures.
The Clydeside Distillery
No trip to Scotland is complete without a visit to a whisky distillery to sample our national drink! The Clydeside Distillery is in the heart of Glasgow and is the first dedicated Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery in the city for over 100 years. Book a tour with an expert guide and learn more about the whisky industry and its rich history in Glasgow and follow it up by sampling some delicious whisky with views out over the Clyde.
Glasgow Central Station
If you don’t want to fly South, you can pretty much get a train to anywhere from Glasgow Central. Direct to cities like Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Birmingham. Use the TrainLine app to get cheap tickets!
Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotlands Capital City and you can pretty much do the main points in a day. The hop on hop off bus tour is great for seeing it all
Edinburgh Castle
You can get to Edinburgh from Glasgow Queen Street. The castle sits at the top of The Royal Mile (the mile between the castle and the Parliament building)
Royal Mile
The Royal Mile is lined with shops, restraunts and street performers
Scottish Parliament Building
Scotland has its own parliament (but not its own queen). You can head into the parliament building and watch live debates
The Royal Yacht Britannia
Permanently moored in Edinburgh, you can tour the Royal Yatch that used to be used by the Queen for most of her state visits
Other things to do
The UK has some wonderful places to visit and is only a short hop across the English Channel to continental Europe. There are normally cheap flights to Italy, France, Spain and Germany.
There are also plenty of places to visit within the UK as well as Dublin (Ireland).
London
The capital city is worth a visit!
Isle of Skye and the west coast
We would recommend staying in Scotland - there is so much to do, especially on the west coast.
The Isle of Skye is stunning but you will definitely need to hire a car. You can visit the Harry Potter Bridge on the way, drive through Glen Coe, stop off in Fort William and see Eilean Donan Castle
