1.  Ayrshire - Land of Robert Burns

Ayrshire, the county to the south of Glasgow, is where Robert Burns, Scotland's natonal poet, was born and lived and there are several places associated with him.  The Natonal Trust for Scotland's Robert Burns Museum at Alloway is a good starting point;  from there you can visit the nearby Robert Burns Cottage, Highland Mary's Monument and Souter Johnnie's House.

Ayrshire isn't just about Robert Burns.  There are several good beaches, so it's ideal for a family holiday, and places to visit such as Culzean Castle and Gardens, with woodlands to explore, and if you head inland, there are glens and hills and the Galloway Forest Park.

There are several Thistle Holiday Parks, ideal for basing yourself for a short break or longer - take your pick from these:

Craig Tara Holiday Park
Crofthead Holiday Park
Sandylands Holiday Park
Southerness Holiday Park
Sundrum Castle Holiday Park
Turnberry Holiday Park

Wemyess Bay Holiday Park

 2.  For a holiday In the Trossachs and Loch Lomond area.

The Trossachs, to the west of Stirling, is one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland - forests, lochs and hills all around. You can sail on Loch Katrine on board the SS Sir Walter Scott or hire cycles and visit Historic Scotland's Doune Castle (where "Monty Python" was filmed)..

Loch Lomond is the major attraction -  visit to village of Luss, walk through the forests, enjoy a cruise on the Loch.  You can visit Glasgow by train from Balloch at the south end.  Or go over the hill to visit the National Trust for Scotland's Hill House at Helensburgh.

For parks to stay in, there are:
The Trossachs Holiday Park
Loch Lomond Holiday Park
Rosneath Castle Caravan Park
Inverbeg Holiday Park
