Is the area of Ayrshire (near St. Andrews golf course) suppose to be one...

[??????]

...of the wealthier areas in the UK? just was curious, as I was there previously this past winter and have never seen such a beautiful district of the UK.

Is this area well known for its beauty in the UK or not?

which other areas are known as "elite" areas to live in the UK ?

how come?


Thanks for your answers!
Sorry, well the area of Ayrshire then.. which golf course is that in Ayrshire as well?

The area of Ayrshire is not near St Andrews golf course, so it's hard to know which area you're talking about.

EDIT: I expect there are hundreds of Golf Courses in Ayrshire - Turnberry and Troon are two of the more prestigious ones.

Yes it is a nice area, and it was fairly presitigious in Victorian times - there are many grand houses dating from that era. Nowadays it is not particularly expensive when compared to other areas in Scotland, particularly Glasgow and Edinburgh. Other areas in the UK which are known for their beauty would have to start with the Cotswolds and parts of the Lake District in England, and the Trossachs in Scotland, but of course there are many more.
