Welcome to The Maclaurin Trust

Set within the magnificent grounds of Rozelle Park, the Maclaurin Art Gallery offers a rare chance to enjoy a wide range of works from local, national and internationally acclaimed artists.

The impressive mansion house, built in 1760 in the style of Robert Adam was gifted to the Royal Burgh of Ayr in 1968.


A generous bequest of funds from the late Mrs Mary Maclaurin enabled the conversion of the coach house and stables into an art gallery in 1976 and the ongoing acquisition of a unique collection of contemporary 20th and 21st century art.


The Gallery has full disabled access, from a clearly marked parking space right outside the entrance arch, to smooth access to all five galleries, either across the courtyard or through the galleries themselves to the Tearoom and disabled toilet. If needed we also have a wheelchair which a member of staff will be pleased to get for you.


Visitors to the Gallery can also enjoy the collections held within Rozelle House.

Sunday saw the opening of the SSA's Annual Exhibition and we are delighted to host this special event here at the Maclaurin, the first time the exhibition has been shown in the West of Scotland. The gallery was super busy as we heard opening speeches from the Chair of the Maclaurin Trust, John Walker and SSA President Vasile Toch. There was also a moment of reflection and tribute to a very special lady, our vice chair, Celia Judge, who recently passed. This show runs until 14 January and all artwork is for sale, with 5 galleries brimming full of wonderful wall art, sculpture, installations and more. If ever there was a must see exhibition, this is it!
