Carrick's historic capital, Maybole, has a documented history dating back to the 1100s. The town hall, which dates back to the 19th century, and Maybole Castle, which is believed to date back to the 1560s, make the high street particularly eye-catching. Once a hub of shoe production, the community today offers a variety of stores, taverns, and a parish church with a striking orange stone exterior. It's about 5 miles from Ayr, the capital of Burns Country, which has a plethora of shops, restaurants, and other attractions. Culzean Bay, with its magnificent castle and wonderful grounds, is only 12 miles distant, while Galloway Forest offers good hiking options within easy reach. A fantastic, tranquil setting from which to explore Scotland's stunning West Coast.
