A quick DIY tour around Ayr, Alloway, Prestwick and the Ayrshire Countryside. In no particular order are: 13th Century Brig O'Doon, Tam O'Shanter pub in Ayr High st, Souter Johnnies pub in Kirkoswald, Alloway Inn in Alloway, Balbirs Indian Restaurant on the southbound A77, Elvis Presley plaque at Prestwick Airport where he landed for a few hours whilst in the armed forces, Waverley Paddle Steamer - only sea-going paddle steamer in the world still going strong, Ailsa Craig the volcanic plug in the Clyde aka Paddy's Milestone, an old boat in Ayr harbour, Wallace Tower and a statue of William Wallace in Ayr High Street, Bar Dome in Prestwicks main road, River Doon in both directions as seen from the Millennium Footbridge at the mouth of the river, Brig O'Doon Hotel., pictures of Culzean Castle and grounds (appeared as Lord Summerisle's residence in original movie Wickerman and The Queen with Helen Mirren), Rabbie Burns cottage/birthplace in Alloway, the Lang Scots Mile walk marker on Ayr seafront. Phew that just about covers it! Shame its not newport state of mind spoof of new york state of mind '-)

I love the video and pictures...I would go here as a wee girl growing up in Scotland,, and I have family there. The only thing I did not like was the music and singing.....It does not suit the video and I found it very distracting...I found it out of place....what has the song got to do with the beautiful views and the history?????

@1Toryglen thank you for your kind comments re video. Ouch re your forthright opinion of tune; I only try to please myself with my wee hobby. I thought the tune was jaunty, irreverent and fun, plus it had permissions. Its just for fun and not to be taken so seriously, though I didn't want any kind of twee twiddly-dee cliched scottish music. Sorry you find it so distracting and awful. I'm trying not to take it personally. *self harms*
