The app contains information about tourism in South Ayrshire, and the addition of a GPS feature means you can quickly and easily find nearby attractions wherever you are in the area.

Whether you are a local, tourist, or visitor, you can discover more of South Ayrshire’s attractions on the new app. It showcases key landmarks to visit – from our award-winning beaches and golf courses to museums, castles, and historic buildings, as well as providing up-to-date information on all the events and activities taking place in the region. It has something for everyone, whether you are looking for a fun family day out or the best food and drink venues.

Using the app, you can also follow a number of self-led trails, seeing more of South Ayrshire’s wonderful scenery and learning about its history along the way!

Councillor Alec Clark, South Ayrshire Council’s portfolio holder for Tourism, Culture and Rural Affairs said: “South Ayrshire has so much to offer as a tourist destination, with its rich history, golf traditions, and many exciting events taking place this year! The new Destination South Ayrshire app will be a great resource for tourists and locals alike – with all the information you need to have a fantastic day out or stay in South Ayrshire in one place.”

Councillor Brian Connolly, South Ayrshire Council’s portfolio holder for Sport and Leisure said: “The new app is a fantastic way to highlight all the wonderful facilities South Ayrshire has to offer – both to locals and those visiting from outside the area. This will help us to promote the area as a destination of choice to those interested in our wonderful golf courses, scenic walks, and more!”

For existing users of the Ayr Through the Ages app, the new Destination South Ayrshire app can be obtained through an update. The full functionality of Ayr Through the Ages will still be available as a feature within the new app.
