If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Located 35 miles away, Kirkcudbright is worth getting in the car for. Among the first stops you make here ought to be MacLellan’s Castle, Broughton House and Tolbooth. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Ayr, 45 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Ayr Beach. (But we’d also recommend Brig O’Doon and Royal Troon Golf Club.)
