Ayr Racecourse is a Visit Scotland 5 star visitor attraction. www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk www.theentertainmentguide.co.uk 5 INTRODUCTION yrshire is shaped like a great crescent moon, curving around gorgeous coastline and centring on the idyllic seaside town of Ayr. Sandy beaches and rocky outcrops combine with historic landmarks, towering castles and, of course, the chance to indulge in one of the country’s most famous sports – golf. Over the centuries, the Scottish nation has left its mark on the world, with major economists, inventors and doctors among the historical figures whose contributions are still lauded today. Never is this more evident than in Ayrshire, where in 1759, Scotland’s most celebrated national figure was born. Today, Robert Burns is celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic, his colourful poems and songs having stood the test of time. Visitors to Ayrshire will find ample landmarks in Burns’ turbulent life. The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway gives a fascinating glimpse into his humble beginnings, while Burns House, set within the quaint cobbled streets of Mauchline, reflects one of the more creative periods of his literary life. If you like to trace your history a little further back, there’s some amazing historic sites within Ayrshire. Check out 18th century Culzean Castle, a popular National Trust property with stunning rooms and a fascinating armoury. The extensive grounds also include a deer park, and if you visit in autumn you may be lucky enough to catch the male red deer engaging in one of their epic mating battles. Antlers at the ready! Explore the industrial side of Scotland’s heritage with a trip to the Scottish Maritime Museum at Irvine, or take a trip on an authentic steam railway at the Scottish Industrial Railway Centre. For you sporting types, why not have a flutter on the horses at the famous Ayr Racecourse, home to the Scottish Grand National and the Ayr Gold Cup? Golfers, on the other hand, can get a few rounds in at one of Ayrshire’s world class golf courses such as Turnberry and Royal Troon. Or why not take advantage of the stunning coastline and try some watersports? There’s plenty of professional sailing and yachting options, or try something a bit different and have a go at kitesurfing at one of Scotland’s longest established schools at Troon. There’s so much to do in Ayrshire you’ll be spoilt for choice, and that’s where the ‘Wee Yellow Book’ can come in. The Entertainment Guide can help you to plan out your trip, offering helpful advice on the best attractions, eateries 6 APP BestIn APP, Download FREE Ayrshire 2021/22 and local businesses. Whether you’re looking for cosy pubs, designer shopping or fresh local food, we’ve got you covered. The town of Ayr itself is at the heart of the region and no trip to the area would be complete without a wander along its charming sea front or a mosey through its shops and restaurants. Fresh seafood is, not surprisingly, a big crowd pleaser here, while whisky aficionados will be tempted by the prospect of tasting fine single malts in some of the town’s traditional taverns. Whether you’re visiting Ayrshire for business, pleasure or a little bit of both, keep this publication close at hand.

    Tuesday 13 January 2015 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Communities Jackie Baillie (Dumbarton) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government how it will use its proposed new power regarding funeral payment benefit to help support people who experience difficulties in meeting funeral costs. (S4W-23698) Margaret Burgess: Under the Smith Commission’s proposals, the Scottish Government would have full autonomy to deliver assistance with funeral costs to help those in need. We plan to consult widely with stakeholders and service users in the coming months on how we can use these proposed new powers to best effect, building on the appetite for engagement and dialogue amongst civic Scotland. Anne McTaggart (Glasgow) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what further work it is undertaking on its discussion paper on financial capability, Achieving Better Co-ordination in Scotland, published in July 2010. (S4W-23701) Margaret Burgess: As described in the answer to S4W-23603 on 6 January 2015, the Scottish Government’s approach to financial capability is set out in the revised Child Poverty Strategy for Scotland published in March 2014. This recognises the importance of having access to appropriate financial services, information and advice and that financial capability can make a significant difference to the lives of the people of Scotland. Achieving Better Co-ordination in Scotland focussed on a number of key areas, including genuine partnership working – which we have demonstrated through tri-partite working with the Scottish Legal Aid Board and the Money Advice Service to fund collaborative projects, most recently through the Tackling Money Worries funding announced in October 2014.
