The Dream
Edition

welcome

Ayrshire Magazine is one of the foremost community-driven, lifestyle magazines in Scotland. When we first launched in September 2014, the magazine became a trusted companion to those living locally within Ayrshire. Produced by local people, for local people, we believe that local businesses and people are the heart and soul of communities.

Today, Ayrshire Magazine is published bi-monthly and prides itself on offering a unique mix of content from exclusive celebrity interviews to local success stories and thought-provoking articles. Add sport, motoring, rural, arts & culture, fashion, business, home & interiors, beauty, food & drink as well as travel into its glossy A4 pages, and the result is a visually engaging magazine that's uplifting, informative and thought-provoking.

We cover the whole of Ayrshire with magazines being distributed across all Ayrshire postcodes and throughout the West of Scotland. Regardless of age or circumstance, Ayrshire Magazine connects with its readers through high quality content, introducing them to the stories, people and brands that interest them the most.

Tony Hadley

Nestled between Troon and the rolling Ayrshire countryside, Dundonald is one of those places that quietly wins you over.

I had arranged to meet one half of The Heavy Heads at The Burgh Bar in Prestwick.

TROON BLACKROCK PIPEBAND

There are hundreds of competitive member pipe bands registered with the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA), one of which is Ayrshire’s Troon Blackrock Pipe Band.

The Royal Castle of Dundonald

Dundonald Castle is a massive pile crowning the prominent Castle Hill above the village of the same name.

THE MICAH PROJECT

When local councils were forced to withdraw their community services because of the lockdown in 2020, it’s fair to say that charitable church groups were among the first to react and step in.

BROON FRAE TROON

In the half century or more that I have been following Scottish rugby, a good number of ‘gentle giants’ have played the game at the highest level.
