"Until standardisation of weights and measures in the 18th century, a "mile" in Scotland could be a variable distance. Generally a Scottish mile was longer than a mile in England, a fact which was immortalised by Robert Burns in his poem "Tam o' Shanter" - "We think na on the lang Scots miles..."

After the Union of the Parliaments in 1701, the standard English measure began to be introduced in Scotland, gradually replacing the Lang Scots Mile. The Lang Scots Mile Walk was created in 2002 on the seafront of Ayr to commemorate the town's historical links with Burns as well as to encourage healthy exercise. It was estimated that a 10 stone man or woman walking Lang Scots Mile would burn off 115 calories and a 16 stone person, 184 calories."

"Room.was clean, view was brilliant. "

Carlton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"After a frustrating day travelling as flight was delayed, we arrived later than planned and were glad to be checked in promptly and booked our table for dinner. Room was so clean and welcoming. Our dinner was delicious and the service was courteous and proffessional, as was breakfast in the morning. Myself and my daughter both agreed that we will stay here again."

Sunset View - Donnini Apartments

8/10 Good

"Very good stay. Location was known to me, so knew the area well, as I’m from the area. As others have said, some areas could do with updating, especially the bathroom downstairs, and the kitchen. Outside rear could do with a tidy up. Kitchen could do with a clean. Comfortable beds. House was lovely and warm. "

Savoy Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was amazing and so comfortable, the staff were lovely and couldn't have done anymore to make our stay special. The food was phenomenal and after seeing the prices we will definitely be planning on visiting more often with our family. Cannot wait to see the renovation but hope the same feeling stays about the place as it is such a special venue for us as a family. We got married there and love the old Scottish feel about the place. "
