Culzean Castle and Country Park
The castle also has quite an extensive exhibition on General D Eisenhower, the allied supreme commander from world war two. The whole of the top floor of the castle (which is now a hotel with six bedrooms), was given to Eisenhower for his private use during his lifetime, in recognition of the nations gratitude to him for his wartime exploits.
There are many other interesting rooms to the castle and combined with the grounds the best part of a day can be spent here by all the family. Once you are bored or its time for the castle to close then you can head for the main town of Ayr, which is approximately 12 miles away, where you will find a large selection of shops, bars, restaurants, hotels etc.
If I was only allowed to recommend one place in Scotland for you to visit during your stay, I would be hard pushed to come up with a better suggestion.
