Right is a view of B734 road
from Girvan leading to the small
village of Barr. This road seems
to be about five miles up to the
top of the Hadyard Hills then
three miles downhill into Barr as
seen right.

|
As you may be wondering, yes this is
the main road into Barr.

The view left is as you enter
Barr past the church. This
village is popular with visitors
