The views are accompanied by an extensive history which not only provides the background story of each community, but also gives us a taste of life as it was a century ago when people still relied on their potato crops, fishing and weaving for a living, when the highlight of the day was the arrival of the stagecoaches or later, the charabancs of the Coaching Tour from Girvan, and when Daljarrock still had a post office.

Ayrshire
The county of Ayrshire is located on the Firth of Clyde on the beautiful West Coast of Scotland and is known as one of the most fertile areas of the country, famed for its cattle and crops. Although more industrial to the north, it is in the main a landscape made for walking with an abundance of open countryside and rugged little hills, golden sandy beaches and beautiful sunsets. This guide features 40 mostly moderate walks full of interest which explore all aspects of the region, from craggy cliffs and caves to historic castles, ancient forests to sandy shorelines.
