Ayr is twinned with st Germain-en-Laye

We've just said "goodbye" to our friends from St Germain-en-Laye

The eagerly awaited visit was over all too quickly - in the blink of an eye, it seemed. We shared so much together: from the inauguration of the new Provost on the first day and visits to Alloway, Stirling, Arran and Culzean to the excellent farewell evening at the Carrick Lodge. We made friends and deepened existing friendships - it was all most enjoyable. Thanks to Sylvie and Marc Miloutinovitch for sharing their photos with us - together we have thousands of photos, of which the following are just a small selection.

Lamlash made a perfect end to a perfect day





No visit to Arran would be complete without seeing Brodick Castle






Falkirk Wheel on the way back from Stirling but not before almost driving to Edinburgh!




On Saturday we sailed to Arran - a glorious sunny day!

Sea like a millpond.




The visit to the Lochranza distillery was a great success!

As was the whisky tasting afterwards!





The guides at Stirling Castle were interesting but it was freezing!









Visit to Stirling Castle on Friday - in the cold!






Visit to Alloway on Thursday - in the rain

Abbotsford pub evening 17 May

Just back from the Abbotsford - we had a great evening and a very good turnout despite the fact that we'd all been walking around Alloway most of the day, when we weren't attending the inauguration of the new Provost.
