St. John's Tower Tours

It's impossible not to appreciate the structural design of St. Johns Tower, a notable historic tower that has been able to stand the test of time.

This historic construction is often on the itineraries of travelers to Ayr. But St. John's Tower isn't the only highlight in the area. Ayr Beach, Ayr Racecourse, and Brig O'Doon are some other interesting attractions close by.

Overpriced. I honestly think this hotel charges so much purely because they have a spa and golf course, the rooms certainly don't reflect the price.

"Until standardisation of weights and measures in the 18th century, a "mile" in Scotland could be a variable distance. Generally a Scottish mile was longer than a mile in England, a fact which was immortalised by Robert Burns in his poem "Tam o' Shanter" - "We think na on the lang Scots miles..." After the Union of the Parliaments in 1701, the standard English measure began to be introduced in Scotland, gradually replacing the Lang Scots Mile. The Lang Scots Mile Walk was created in 2002 on the seafront of Ayr to commemorate the town's historical links with Burns as well as to encourage healthy exercise. It was estimated that a 10 stone man or woman walking Lang Scots Mile would burn off 115 calories and a 16 stone person, 184 calories."
