Turnberry
South AyrshireTurnberry Resort Lodges
©2011 Gazetteer for Scotland
Situated on Turnberry Bay 6 miles (9.5 km) north of Girvan in South Ayrshire, the Turnberry is an internationally-known golf centre with two courses, as well as 1¼ miles (2 km) of beaches. Turnberry Castle is traditionally seen as the birthplace of Robert the Bruce; the fire which attracted Bruce from Arran in 1307 may have been the same which destroyed the castle.
Nearby is Culzean Castle and the abbey of Crossraguel.
