  • Somerset Park is home to Ayr United FC who will compete in the Scottish Championship this season.
    Stadium announcer Scott was kind enough to show me around this amazing football ground. It was designed by world famous, legendary architect Archibald Leitch.

      It’s a classic old style stadium that I think should be listed by Historic Scotland to preserve it. It was built in 1888!!! Full of character and soul.

    My first ever Scottish football match was Celtic v Ayr Utd, at Celtic Park, in 1988 (Cup). I couldn't walk after the game, from sitting on the barriers in the terracing. My old man had to carry me down the steps until the feeling came back in my arse and legs.

    Fair play, I’ve heard worse renditions of Tam O’Shanter.
    I was at the 98 Scottish Cup tie with Kilmarnock, as a neutral (hospitality guest in the portacabins). Great day, great game, incredible atmosphere.

    I’m a football fan from Australia, and travelled to Ayr in 2018 as my granddad lived there before moving to Australia.
    Loved every minute when I found the club. Even got to hold the trophy they won in 2018. Later found out my great great great relatives played for the club. Once upon a time I never knew about the club, but now I keep up to date every weekend for them. Go on Ayr

    A bit ironic but the Chairman and owner of Ayr United back in the day owned Barr Construction the company that built and renovated many stadia both in Scotland and England. The irony being he never spent a penny upgrading Somerset park.

    In that League 1 winning season Ayr were 5 points ahead of Raith with 9 to play for and yet went into last day 1 point behind and with a 3-0 win over Albion Rovers and Raith drawing with Alloa 0-0 they just about got over the line

    A coo is a Scottish word for cow.
    Nice ground Ayr. Their fans have a a bit of a hooligan Element though. Our bus was pelted with stones the last time I was there.
