Surrounded on all sides by the gently rolling hills and fertile farmland of the Ayrshire countryside, and with the rugged coastline not far to the west, it is rare to find a location so close to perfection as at Ballochmyle.

Situated on the outskirts of the quiet village of Mauchline, in the heart of Burns Country, the apparent isolation of this spectacular new development belies the fact that it is little more than half an hour’s drive from the cosmopolitan centre of Glasgow. The area is steeped in history. Ayrshire’s hedge-lined lanes, wooded riverways and glens may be deceptively peaceful today, but still offer those of an observant nature a few hints to its often turbulent past.

Mauchline village was at the centre of activities between Scottish Royalists and the Covenanters, with a decisive battle being fought in 1648 that is still celebrated each May at the Holy Fair.
