Barr, Ayrshire

Barr is a village in South Ayrshire, Scotland, approximately 8 miles (13 km) from the town of Girvan.

Visitors can walk along the service routes and read about the wind farm at the information point in the car park.

Although the main building of the church has been converted into private residence, the clock tower was donated to the people of Barr.

According to a reference in The Carrick Covenanters by James Crichton, the last place in the Scottish Lowlands where Gaelic was spoken was the village of Barr on the River Stinchar in Ayrshire.

Barr was once regarded as one of the most isolated places in that part of Scotland, though situated only a few miles from Girvan as the crow flies.
