Prestwick Attractions |
| |
The Hollies is located in the lovely seaside town of Prestwick, on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland, just 30 miles south of Glasgow. Prestwick is Scotland's oldest baronial burgh, dating back over one thousands years. The town's name, Prestwick, comes from Old English, priest's farm. Preost meaning Priest and wic meaning farm. The town was originally an outlying farm of a religious house.
Prestwick's other claim to fame is the first ever British Golf Open Championship was held here, at Old Prestwick Golf Course in 1860. However, Prestwick is best known for its international airport - Glasgow Prestwick International airport - which is situated at the north end of the town. One of it's most notable visitors being Elvis Presley, who touched down in 1960 en route to Germany.
Prestwick enjoys many bars and restaurants, all with-in walking distance of The Hollies, with The Red Lion Pub just 2 minutes walk away. It was here that the founders of Old Prestwick golf club used to meet for a 'wee' dram or two, in 1850. As well as a vibrant town, Prestwick enjoys a lovely beachfront with wonderful views out over the sea towards the Island of Arran and Ailsa Craig, which can result in some fantastic sunsets! |
