Girvan was first launched as a holiday destination with the arrival of a steam packet service and the railway in 1869. In the summer, holiday makers would triple the towns poulation and line the harbourside, drawn to the spectacle of the fishing fleet offloading glittering catches. Golden sands would provide young and old alike with memories of warm hazy days, melting ice creams and rolling waves or tempestuous storms.
Dominated by the volcanic plug of Ailsa Craig, Girvan to this day remains one of the most beautiful and unspoilt seaside towns in the South West of Scotland with it's fantastic scenery and wealth of history on it's doorstep.
There is something for everyone in Girvan, whether you want to stay awhile, experience a short break or just visit us for the day.
We would love to make you welcome.
