Turnberry is a small village situated about 16 miles south of Ayr. The lighthouse at Turnberry is built on the spot where there used to be a castle, believed to be where Scotland's most famous king, Robert the Bruce, was born.

The Monument by the Lighthouse, is in honour of British, United States and Australian servicemen that lost their lives while at the Turnberry School of Aerial Gunnery & Fighting during the two World Wars.

The golf course was laid out in 1901 by Troon professional Willie Fernie for Archibald Kennedy (3rd Marquess of Ailsa). The course was soon taken over by the Glasgow and South Western Railway, a company looking to set up the first golf resorts. Turnberry Hotel opened in 1906 as the first golf resort of its kind.

This golf resort is still regarded by many as the finest in Scotland. A light railway between Alloway, Turnberry and Girvan was completed in 1905, with the main purpose of carrying golfers from all over the UK to the resort. The rail line was closed in 1942. The architect James Miller designed the hotel on a plateau overlooking the golf course.

Turnberry Castle was one of the oldest buildings in Carrick, dating back as far as the 1100s. It was the seat of the ancient Earls of Carrick, one founded Crossraguel Abbey, and another, Robert the Bruce, became King of Scotland.

It is unclear if Robert the Bruce was born at Turnberry Castle or at Loch Maben, but most historians believe he was born at Turnberry.
