Girvan is a burgh in Carrick, South Ayrshire, Scotland. Girvan is stituated on the east coast of the Firth of Clyde, with a population of about 6,700. It lies 21 miles (34 km) south of Ayr, and 29 miles (47 km) north of Stranraer, the main ferry port from Scotland to Northern Ireland.
Girvan was originally a fishing port. In 1668, it became a municipal burgh incorporated by charter. The opening of the railways, initially with the Maybole and Girvan Railway at the end of the 1850s, encouraged the development of Girvan as a seaside resort with beaches and cliffs. Holidaying here from 1855 to 1941 were Robert and Elizabeth Gray and their children; particularly Alice and Edith Gray. The family, led principally by Elizabeth and Alice, created scientifically organised collections of fossils for several museums including the Natural History Museum.
The town is now served by Girvan railway station. Just north of the town is a William Grant & Sons distillery which opened in 1964. There is a Nestlé factory that manufactures chocolate that is shipped down to York and used in Kit-Kat and Yorkie bars.
The McKechnie Institute was endowed by a local businessman and opened in 1889. The Girvan Folk Music Festival takes place on the first weekend of May each year. Girvan also has a folk music club. The Lowland Gathering takes place on the first Sunday of June each year in the Victory Park in the centre of the town. The annual Festival of Light takes place in October with a six-week lantern project resulting in the river of light lantern procession and shorefront performance. The autumn lantern project is a celebration of the lanternmakers and the people of Carrick.
Culzean Castle is about 8 miles (13 km) north of the town, and the volcanic island of Ailsa Craig is visible about 10 miles (16 km) offshore. Turnberry golf course and hotel are located 5 miles (8 km) north of Girvan. The coastline south of Girvan is famous for its geology, and also for Sawney Bean's Cave, where the legendary murderer and cannibal Sawney Bean supposedly lived until his arrest and execution in Edinburgh.
Most of the streets in the south east of Girvan are named after trees, examples are Maple Drive, Elder Avenue, Pine Quadrant, etc. Some flats are being refurbished due to damp rooms, poor insulation and mouldy windows (Which are still wooden). Girvan has a Roman Catholic church, Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, built around 1863. The Church is in Harbour Lane, situated between Louisa Drive and Henrietta Street, close to the junction with Ailsa Street West.

First time out for the motorbike this year and an excuse to test the recently purchased Drift Ghost S.
The weather this year in the UK and Scotland where I live has been fairly poor and due to this I was reluctant to go out for a blast as the clean up after same is lengthy and the conditions were not safe.
I have created this Youtube Channel to share my experiences with other like-minded people.
Today with a nice weather window I arranged a run down the Ayrshire Coast to Girvan to tie in with a friend, Calum, on his BMW GS.
Due to the temperatures it was unclear as to how far we would manage as such I resurrected my Gerbing heated jacket for the occasion, and it was needed trust me.
The run for me was along the A78 to Ayr from Irvine and thereafter on the A77 to Girvan. Part 2 of this video will be covering other roads in Ayrshire and Galloway.
A few cafes made the day was a great success and enjoyable.
The test of the Ghost S has been a success and all thanks to

After discussion Part 2 of the run resulted in heading North to the Maidens and thereafter down to Dunure fro lunch at the Anchorage Inn, via The Electric Brae. Thereafter headed to Ayr and picking up the A77 which allowed us to run across country via the Galloway Forest roads. A knowledgeably run through the Galloway Forest Roads, by Calum, brought us back to Girvan where coffee and Cake at Maly’s Café was all in order
