Generally a Scottish mile was longer than a mile in England, a fact which was immortalised by Robert Burns in his poem "Tam o' Shanter" - "We think na on the lang Scots miles..." After the Union of the Parliaments in 1701, the standard English measure began to be introduced in Scotland, gradually replacing the Lang Scots Mile. The Lang Scots Mile Walk was created in 2002 on the seafront of Ayr to commemorate the town's historical links with Burns as well as to encourage healthy exercise. It was estimated that a 10 stone man or woman walking Lang Scots Mile would burn off 115 calories and a 16 stone person, 184 calories." ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/5583/848aac3a-3661-425c-a527-fb6724605afb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Ayr Beach 4.5/5(63 reviews) If a restful holiday is part of your travel plans, Ayr Beach might be the perfect place to visit during your trip to Ayr.
