Lived in Girvan for 4 years now and I absolutely love it. Yes, the high street has some empty shops but so does every other high street. Loads going on if you want to get involved. Beautiful beach, fabulous countryside. Local butchers, greengrocers, gift shops, original clothing shops. Lovely people. Don't knock it.

Spent so many happy holidays in Girvan in the 50s and 60s. Hardly recognised it now. Used to be 2 cinemas, theatre, dancing at the bandstand on Stair Park, several hotels, lovely shops - and of course the motor boats!

It's a town with tremendous potential. Great people. Sadly let down by decades of political incompetence.

Theres some nice walks over the hills. Awesome views. I think it needs a bypass for the heavy traffic though.

That would be a shame, most places with a crap shingle beach would kill for Girvans sand
