Description

Health and Wellbeing

These 6 events will allow people to be physically active in travelling by bicycle ( or walking) from Routenburn Golf course or the Meigle avoiding the coastal A78 road.

This route on the Ayrshire coastal trail provides magnificient views over the River Clyde to improve oneself both physically and mentally.

Building Community Spirit

On Thursday 8th May we are part of the UK wide Beacon lighting ceremony to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE day) which will be our third beacon event having participated in both Queen Elizabeth 11 Jubilee in 2022 and D day in 2024 this will be open to all in our community.

Cost of Living

All our events will be free of charge, and we will provide a unisex toilet facility and hot and cold drinks with a snack.

 

Green Projects

We believe that these 6 events will have a positive impact on our community as we are offering the use of our museum site with superb environmental views over the Wemyss Bay to Rothesay Ferry route as an active travel destination for cycling, wheeling and walking.
