I worked at the County Hotel Wellington Square 1976/78. I was very happy there holidayed there and took both my daughters on holiday to Ayr and Galloway. Ayr is a pale shadow of its halcyon days I wish it well and hope it improves its lot soon.

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you sharing your memories here. A lot of towns in Britain have seen better days but there's more to a place than boarded-up shops and so on.

Ayr is also at the center of Scotland's west coast golf country, where numerous Open championships have been played at Prestwick, Troon ad Turnberry. Also, Burns thatch-roofed cottage is in Ayr.

Thanks for your comment. I should maybe have mentioned the golf as my visit coincided with the Open at Troon.

Nobody mentioned Robert Burns and museum at Alloway!

Thanks for your comment. I never thought of that - my purpose was to ask local people what they liked about Ayr and I guess that nobody mentioned the museum because locals don't do museums! That's what tourists do. Your comment has a lot of validity, it made me realise that locals and tourists see a place differently.

Ayr used to be a very vibrant town not now , on a normal Friday it's actually hard to find any live entertainment, it's a shadow of it's former self unfortunately, pubs, and other businesses finding it extremely hard to survive, what a pity, Prestwick is better but not by much I have seen a decline there also , fair percentage of people I know who moved through from Glasgow years ago actually moving back to the likes of newton mearns, whitecraigs, and thornonhall meaning more money will leave ayr and aurrounding area not good
