The Lang Scots Mile! What a great name for a lovely walk. Being such a lovely morning last Sunday in Ayr, I decided to do this walk along the sea front. The sun was shining and the air was bracing. Whether it is a full mile or not I do not know, but there are sign posts along the route... More

Nice view and flat for the wheelchair. Nice sunny day and a long enough walk for my husband to digest and work off a very large and delicious lunch by pushing my wheelchair. Had fun watching kids running in and quickly out of the water because it must have been freezing in April. More

This one mile walk has regular sign posts every 1/4 of a mile. It takes you right along the sea front. Park at Seafield Car Park, just in front of Ayr India Restaurant and walk to the end of the Pier. This can be a leisurely strole or a brisk walk. The scenery is wonderful. You are looking across to... More
