South Ayrshire

South Ayrshire extends along the western Scottish coast with rolling hills, agricultural lands, and beaches stretching from Troon to Ballantrae point.

The region formed as a council area in 1996 following the Local Government Act of 1994, replacing previous district divisions within historic Ayrshire county.

The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway presents manuscripts, artifacts, and personal belongings of Scotland's national poet through extensive exhibitions.

South Ayrshire Council operates eight secondary schools, forty primary schools, and multiple early years centers across the region for educational services.

The area contains Royal Troon Golf Club, which regularly hosts The Open Championship and maintains traditional Scottish links courses along the coastline.
