About usThe Old Racecourse Hotel lies in the heart of Burn's country, being close to Burn's Cottage, the Monument, and the Auld Brig O'Doon, featured in his famous poem Tam O'Shanter. The name reveals that the racecourse was once at this side of town. The current facility is Scotland's premier horse racing venue, and plays host to the Scottish Grand National in April and the Scottish Gold Cup in September. The hotel is convenient for over 30 fine golf courses including Old Prestwick, which initiated the first ever Open in 1860, and Royal Troon and Turnberry - both of which still host golf's premier Championship every few years. Indeed, the Championship was at Royal Troon in July 2004. We are located in an elegant part of Ayr, within easy walking distance of the beach and the central shopping area. A speedy, comfortable rail connection will take you for a great day out to the centre of Glasgow, one of Britain's premier cities and a superb shopping and cultural centre. |
