Ayr is 3 miles (5 km) south of Glasgow Prestwick International Airport and benefits from excellent road and rail links, with regular train services to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Ayr is the administrative centre for South Ayrshire and benefits from a large tourist trade given its close proximity to both Troon and Turnberry Open Golf Championship venues. The building occupies a prominent position on the east side of High Street in the heart of the town centre. The High Street is the principal retail street running north/south through the town and comprises a mix of national retailers and independent operators.
