Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

- ✦Historic character is a year-round quality here — summer brings its own atmosphere to the setting
- 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days

Whithorn Way - b Barrhill to Whithorn)Walking route
From inspection all routes from Girvan to Barrhill are very problematic for long distance walkers. Accordingly it is strongly suggested public tranport is used between Girvan and Barrhill. Whithorn Way (south - Ayr to Whithorn) is now continued.
