The Alloway Railway Tunnel ART is an arts and heritage community project creating a stunning mural within a disused railway tunnel near the Brig O’Doon, Alloway, Ayrshire. At 300m it’s one of the largest murals in Scotland. The project of a guided video tour will benefit local residents, visitors and international tourists who want to find out more information and stories about the mural and Ayrshire history from artist Chris Rutterford as they walk around viewing the mural.

Our aim is to make a lasting difference to the town’s cultural landscape by re-vitalising the entrances to the theatre by not only ensuring the accessibility, safety and environmental aspects by improving the lighting but cementing the theatre being memorable and welcoming to the community, patrons and tourists alike.

Our 4WD vehicle is vital to our ability to maintain the Ayrshire Coastal Path. The vehicle is used to transport materials such as sleepers, gate posts, stiles, new marker posts to where they are needed on the path. Safe access to this stunning coastal path through continued maintenance benefits the local coastal communities in SA through walking, recreation and nature connection opportunities, as well as being a huge driver for outdoor tourism in the area benefitting many local businesses.

Harbour Ayrshire will deliver trauma-informed recovery and wellbeing support across rural coastal communities, reducing isolation, improving mental health, and increasing community participation for vulnerable adults and families.

This upgrade will enhance Dundonald Castle's Visitor Centre and Community Hub, improving facilities for 30,000+ annual visitors and creating a better environment for our community, team, locals and tourists.
