The county town of Ayr adjoins Prestwick to the south and is well known for its first class racecourse and the long established livestock market. There is a wide range of local facilities including shops, supermarkets, leisure and professional services as well as nursery and primary and secondary schooling (including Wellington independent school). The racecourse is home of the Scottish Grand National meeting held annually in the spring. Ayr United, formed in 1910, is the local football team and there are both rugby and cricket clubs in the town. Ayr also has a swimming pool, ten pin bowling, an ice rink and a choice of golf courses as well as river and park walks. The Scottish Rural University College (SRUC) has a campus in the town and the nearest livestock market, Craig Wilson Ltd sits on the outskirts.

Travel connections in the area are good with excellent access to the A77, linking the ferry port at Cairnryan (near Stranraer) to Glasgow. Within Ayr there is a railway station providing regular services north to Glasgow as well as services to the south, terminating in Stranraer. Prestwick Airport is a short drive from the farm (5 miles) and Glasgow International Airport is 38 miles to the north and offers a wide range of domestic, European and international flights.
