Dunlop has a post office, artisan bakery and shop, and popular café/shop (Struther Farmhouse Café), an excellent primary school and railway station with regular services to Glasgow. Stewarton about 6 miles distant has primary and secondary schooling, two supermarkets, independent shops and cafes, a sports centre and railway station and the small town of Beith in the Garnock Valley is 4 miles west with a range of local shops and cafes. Private schooling at Belmont House and Hutchesons are within easy travelling distance. Glasgow and Prestwick Airports are easily reachable being 14 and 18 miles distant respectively.

Ayrshire is renowned for its many golf courses including the world-famous courses at Turnberry, Prestwick and Royal Troon. There are excellent yachting facilities at the marinas at Ardrossan, Largs, Inverkip and Troon. The area offers excellent equestrian facilities including the Morris Equestrian Centre (12 miles).

Easter Highgate is a handsome Grade B Listed house dating from the early 19th century, built of whinstone and sandstone under a slate roof. The house was built for James Findlay, a well-known local cheese dealer, and much of Ayrshire produced the renowned Dunlop cheese developed by Barbara Gilmour of Dunlop in the early 18th Century. The cheese store was over the coach house, and James Findlay erected a large storehouse at Easter Highgate which often had 12,000 stones of cheese, for which he carried large quantities to the Glasgow market on a yearly basis.

Easter Highgate was comprehensively refurbished and upgraded by the current owners who have lived at the property for some 20 years. The property was divided into two houses around 2007 and is formed over three storeys with many attractive architectural features internally, externally with fine boundary walls, railings and gate posts. House 2 has a fabulous hand-made staircase with oak balusters and banister with two-bedroom annexe, and both houses have beautifully proportioned rooms.
