Right is a view of B734 road from Girvan
leading to the small village of Barr.
This road seems to be about five miles up
to the top of the Hadyard Hills then
three miles downhill into Barr as seen
right. As you may be wondering, yes this
is the main road into Barr.

The view left is as you enter Barr
past the church. This village is popular
with visitors looking for a quiet day out
in the car or for walking. For more
information on the history of Barr,
events and hill walking, visit the

Right is a view showing the Nick of
the Balloch on the narrow hill road
between Barr and another small peaceful
village about 12 miles north, Straiton.
It is hard to believe that this spot is
little over 10 miles from Girvan beach.
The hill road leads through the Galloway
Forest past the Stinchar Falls and Loch
Braden. Click on the image right to

Left is a view of the B741 road
leading from Straiton past the church
towards Crosshill and about 16 miles
northwest to Ayr.

Right is a view of the main street in
Straiton with the Black Bull Inn being
the most notable building, ideal for
refreshments. Straiton is a peaceful
small village that hasn't changed much in
decades. For that reason, Straiton has
been used as the setting for films and TV
adverts. The website below gives more
information on Straiton and the
surrounding area that is ideal for quite
country drives and walking. www.maybole.org/community/straiton/straiton.htm.
