Make the Move
Located to the south of Glasgow in the south west region of Scotland, Ayrshire is a county full of natural beauty. As the birthplace of national poet Robert Burns, Ayrshire has an important place in the history of Scotland and encompasses Ayr, Irvine, Kilmarnock and the Isle of Arran.
From the Galloway Hills to 100 miles of coastline on the Firth of Clyde, new houses in Ayrshire are not only popular for their rural setting, but their close proximity to Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow.
