Report
A lovely part of the world the reason for my visit was to watch a rugby match between Biggar and Ayr. We arrived at a very good facility in plenty of time to have lunch which was excellent service was first class weather perfect but unfortunately although we had a lovely time the rugby game didn't finish as we wished Ayr werev beaten so our journey home was very muted.

Report
I am rugby player who has experienced the great comradory of everybody involved in the rugby club. After every game there is food provided in the club house which can also be used for parties and it has a bar and kitchen within it. There are many changing rooms and the pitches are in great condition. It's a great place.
