Please be aware if you are travelling to and from the hotel.
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South West Trunk Road Unit, are proposing an essential maintenance scheme on the A77 south of Girvan between Kilantringan and Smyrton.

The A77 will be closed between Girvan and Cairnryan from 7pm until 6am each night, between Monday 9th March and Friday 27th March 2026, with traffic management removed by 6am on Friday 27th March.

Diversions will operate as follows –

Southbound traffic will exit the A77 at Shallochpark Roundabout onto the A714 and follow to North Barnkirk, turning right onto the unclassified road to South Barnkirk and then turning right onto the A75 and continuing westbound towards Stranraer before taking the A751 to Innermessan and rejoining the A77 northbound towards Cairnryan. Alternatively traffic can continue on the A714 through Newton Stewart to join the A75 eastbound.

Northbound traffic will take the A77 southbound and turn left onto the A751 then left onto the A75 eastbound towards Newton Stewart, turning left onto the unclassified road at South Barnkirk then left onto the A714 at North Barnkirk and following to the A77 Shallochpark Roundabout.

🥈 Silver for Team GB at the Winter Olympics 2026 🥈
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Team GB Curling’s silver medal win - a huge achievement.
What makes this moment even more special for us is the connection to North West Castle Hotel.
Two of the team - Grant Hardie and Hammy McMillan - are cousins and both are grandsons of Hammy McMillan Senior, the original owner of North West Castle. Along with teammate Bobby Lammie, their curling journey began here, training on our rink under the guidance of the inspirational Gail Munro MBE.
From Olympic ice to our historic curling rink, this silver medal is a testament to dedication, heritage and the power of sport to inspire the next generation.
✨ Feeling inspired?
Whether you’re new to curling or looking to sharpen your skills, North West Castle is the perfect place to get involved.
