Hi I’m Susan. I live in Scotland on the beautiful Ayrshire coast, and recently joined Homelink. My son and daughter live and work in Toronto, and I travel back and forward from Scotland to visit them as often as I can, however this time I am hoping to have my own private base.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
I am currently looking for exchanges in Toronto, north Toronto and Niagara on the Lake in November 2024 as I have family there. Also interested in short breaks in the UK.
This unique, beautifully appointed end-terraced home, is ideally suited to golfers, hikers and cyclists. Both Troon and Barassie train stations are five-minute drive from house.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
My house is located in the tiny Scottish village of Loans, five minutes’ drive from the historic tourist destination of Troon and surrounded by some of the best golf courses in the world such as Royal Troon, Western Gailes, Old Prestwick, and the famous Turnberry Ailsa course, simply the perfect location for golfers.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Royal Troon has hosted the Open Championship on nine occasions, with Arnold Palmer, Tom Weiskopf and Tom Watson among the past winners. The Championship will be played there again in 2024. The first tee is five minutes’ drive from my home.
Another Open Championship venue, Turnberry, where the famous Duel in the Sun was played out between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson in 1977, is half an hour’s drive away. If golf is a big feature in your life, the Ayrshire coast is ideal, with a host of top-class courses on the doorstep.
Troon beach, with its sweeping sands, is only a short drive away. From there, take a leisurely stroll around Troon, and discover the town’s charming cafes, chic boutiques and artisan food shops.
Explore the beautiful Ayrshire coastline and countryside, with award-winning beaches, forest trails, and many historical landmarks such as Culzean Castle with its famous links to Eisenhower, Robert Burns cottage and birthplace museum, the star of Outlander, Drumlanrig Castle, and the stunning 18th century Dumfries House owned by HRH Prince Charles – to name a few!
If you want to spend the day exploring further afield, the historic city of Glasgow is an hour’s drive from the house with wonderful shopping, art galleries and museums. Or you might like to spend the day visiting the bonny banks of Loch Lomond followed by a wee dram at the picture-postcard Glengoyne Distillery, founded in 1833. And of course, Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh, is a two-hour train journey from my house.
