Hi,
Taxis run all night. Where are you starting from to get to the station ?
Also have you checked out when the last train to Ayr is ?

Thanks for the reply, we are staying close to the Ayr Train Station. I have Checked the train times and the last one leaves Glasgow Cent. at 11:30pm, which is cutting it close. So I guess our only other option is for the Taxi. Do you have any idea how much a One way taxi ride for two would be from Glasgow cent. to Ayr train station. Of course if you you do know, just a rough price.

Oh also, how is the weather around early November, any snow chances?

Thanks.

Hi,
A taxi will cost a lot I would guess about 50 pounds but it could be more. A cheaper way would be to get an Ayr local cab to come and get you, local cabs are cheaper and they are uslually just normal cars. Glasgow taxis are the black hackney sort and they cost a lot more.

Weather in November for Glasgow & Ayr, damp, possibly a few frosty days, possibly a few sunny days, rain (as always) it night snow but it will only last a day. Generally it only snows a couple of times every winter at sea level (both Glasgow and Ayr are at sea level).
It will get light about 8 and get dark about 5.

Where is the concert ?

I just checked, the last bus is also 11:30 but the bus station is right across the road from the concert hall.

I hope this helps

Dougie/Sparkle,

The Ayr taxi firms are no longer as cheap as they used to be - certainly, last one of my friends tried to arrange a six-seater from Glasgow to Ayr and was quoted 60 pounds.

She did find a cheaper one based in Glasgow but they let us down (on the evening!!!) by making up some story about the taxi not being fit for a journey to Ayr.

Anyway, we just got the last train home.

Sparkle, you can make it to Central Station from the Royal Concert Hall in about 9 minutes at a brisk walk. Depends where your concert is though.

Travel Tips for Ayr

LOCH DOON CASTLE

by hevbell

The most inteeresting feature at Loch Doon is the ruin of the castle, once known as Balliol Castle but now Loch Doon Castle.

Originally it was situated on Castle Island in the middle of the loch. However in the 1930s a hydro-electric scheme meant that that the island was submerged and the castle - already a ruin - was reconstructed at the side of the loch out of harms way.

The castle was the ancient seat of the Lords of Carrick and is first documented in 1306 under the guardianship of Sir Gilbert de Carrick and has a stormy history involving having been taken by the English during the Wars of Independence. Robert the Bruce is believed to have visited there when he was in the area and the castle was owned by supporters of his.

Its an unusual polygonal shape with one long wall and several shorter ones. Although it was orginally 4 floors high very little now remains. Its now owned by Historic Scotland and entry is free.

Culzean Castle

by Sjalen

The castle is a must if you are a Kennedy, since it belonged to them. It is not in Ayr but near enough for you to go there and stroll in its beautiful gardens along the sea, or just explore the house.

ROZELLE

by hevbell

The grounds are quite extensive and, as well as these statues behind the house, there is a bridle path, woodland walks, large pond and open areas that are often used for various events such as the Holy Fair and the annual Flower Show.
