Driving in Kilmarnock
Driving in compact Kilmarnock is relatively stress free. The town centre has the usual mix of pedestrian zones, one-way roads and bus lanes that you’ll need to be aware of.
One of the main roads into and out of the town, the A77 is the starting point for adventures to many of the surrounding cities. Hop on it to join the M77 across to Glasgow or keep going along the M8 to reach Scotland’s iconic capital, Edinburgh.
Alternatively, stay on the A77 heading north and soon enough you'll be driving through beautiful scenery on your way to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. It’s worth noting that the A77 is home to several average-speed cameras.
If you’re taking to the rolling hills and national parks, consider booking an SUV hire car from Kilmarnock. Otherwise, a mini or compact is all you need to navigate the streets in and around the town.
