The Ben A’an hill walk isn’t an easy stroll, but the views from the top are exceptional and it is a beautiful walk to get there. Take your time and let the kids enjoy it as you go. The juice is most definitely worth the squeeze on this wee gem of a hill.
The Whangie is one of the most kid friendly walks we’ve done in Scotland. The dramatic rock formation is stunning to see and is like a natural playground for kids who like to explore. It’s easy enough for young kids to walk by themselves. A great few hours out!
Camera Obscura is packed full of interactive exhibits. It’s a full sensory overload and a brilliant day out. Highly recommend.

Jupiter Artland is a great day out for families. Play on the sculpted hills, visit the donkeys, wander round the beautiful woodlands. Brilliant fun for everyone.
Dumfries House is a hidden gem in South Ayrshire. The grounds are beautiful, the water play area is brilliant. A great day out and best of all it’s free.
