There are ferry services operate from Larne to Troon in South Ayrhsire,  Larne to Cairnryan and Belfast to Stranraer.

 

Personally I'm extremely happy that the main motorway in Ayrshire is the A77, this motorway has been drastically improved with a new safer section from the Means (M77) to Kilmarnock and a much improved and wider section just before Turnberry from the Kirksowald section. Both these new and improved sections have made the A77 a safer place to travel.
From Kilmarnock to just beyond Girvan they have implemented the new Average Speed camera, this ensures that travelling time is limited to the correct speed.
