Girvan (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Gharbhain, "mouth of the River Girvan") is a burgh in Carrick, South Ayrshire, Scotland, with a population of about 6,700. It lies 21 miles (34 km) south of Ayr, and 29 miles (47 km) north of Stranraer, the main ferry port from Scotland to Northern Ireland.
Girvan was originally a fishing port. In 1668, it became a municipal burgh incorporated by charter.
The opening of the railways, initially with the Maybole and Girvan Railway at the end of the 1850s, encouraged the development of Girvan as a seaside resort with beaches and cliffs. Holidaying here from 1855 to 1941 were Robert and Elizabeth Gray and their children; particularly Alice and Edith Gray. The family, led principally by Elizabeth and Alice, created scientifically organised collections of fossils for several museums including the Natural History Museum.
The town is now served by Girvan railway station.
Just north of the town is a William Grant & Sons distillery which opened in 1963. There is a Nestlé factory that manufactures chocolate that is shipped down to York and used in Kit-Kat and Yorkie bars.

I carry on northwards along the A77 and then turn left onto the A719 at Turnberry and pass through the 'Trump Turnberry' golf resort. I then turn left again further up the A719 and reach the village of Maidens with the view of the Kintyre peninsula and the Isle of Arran in the background on the other side of the southern part of the Firth of Clyde.
