A lovely walk up Cannon Hill to Ardrossan’s Castle ruins with spectacular views from height of all surrounding areas As well as the Ardrossan Castle Ruins
A monument stands in tribute to Dr Alexander MacFadzean, a local Ardrossan, doctor and philanthropist best known for his contributions to the town that include ring gas lighting and piped water to the town. The monument is an obelisk sitting on a base engraved with a dedication to the good doctor. At the foot of the monument is a repose lion, but the leonine sculpture is just about recognisable as it's badly worn away.
Located at the top of Castle Hill, it's also where Ardrossan is located, both of which are part of the Ardrossan Heritage Trail from North Ayrshire Council. There's also a QR code at the monument where you can find out more information about both the trail and MacFadzean.

Created in the grand style in the early years of the 20th century, Trump Turnberry, a Luxury Collection Resort is one of Scotland's national treasures and winner of Scottish Hotel of the Year at the 2018 Scottish Hotel Awards'.

True to its history, the pace of life here is unhurried. Welcoming staff greet travellers with traditional Scottish hospitality and quiet but attentive service.
