An odd one this. It's a lay-by on the A77, south of Kirkoswald and on the hill above Turnberry, complete with a maze. It's not signposted or indicated from anywhere on the main road (other than as a parking area) and in any case it can only be entered while driving south. It's totally hidden from the main road and thousands of people must pass it every day and never know it's there.

This is all sadly so typical of Scottish tourism promotion; spend money on a good idea and then keep it a secret. But there's more to come —

This also needs an explanation…
This is the maze (labyrinth) next to Dunure Castle, on the Ayrshire coast a few miles away from the above photo. As you can see it's exactly the same design.
So, anyone care to spill the beans? Which came first and why - and in passing does the pattern have any significance?

The scale of this photo is a little hard to see but the information sign at the bottom right of the picture is about 3 feet (1 metre) wide so as you can see there's just enough room for one person at a time to follow the path from the entrance to the centre.
Or, if in a hurry or maybe a bad mood, just step over the rocks?

This photo is also on the Dunure Village page.
