Town twinning
Town Twinning arrangements in South Ayrshire are led by voluntary Town Twinning Associations.
These are independent, constituted organisations comprising of individual members living in local communities. Each Association maintains and develops cultural, sporting, social, economic, educational, tourist and other links between twinned towns through programmes of exchange visits, evening meetings and special events. The associations host, in turn, an inter-Association annual quiz night in early November.
There are five associations in South Ayrshire based in the major towns with town twinning links.
