Getting There
Trains from Glasgow's Central Station will whisk you to a variety of Ayrshire towns. The trip to Ayr takes less than 1 hour, and a standard round-trip journey, which must be made in the same day, costs about £12 ($24). Stagecoach Express runs buses about twice an hour during the week from Glasgow's Buchanan Street bus terminal. Call Traveline Scotland (tel. 0871/200-2233) for specific journey times. By car, simply take the M77 south out of Glasgow, and it will take you straight to Ayr.
