Tam O'shanter Inn, 230 High Street, Ayr

The Tam O'Shanter Inn, located at 230 High Street in Ayr, was rebuilt in 1808 and is a two-storey, three-bay inn. The building features painted and rendered walls, a base course, and a corniced fascia that displays the name 'Tam O' Shanter Inn' with painted margins around the window openings.

On the southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is a central doorpiece with pilasters and a cornice. The entrance consists of a two-leaf timber boarded door topped with an elaborate iron-work lantern and a framed picture above on the first floor. There are single windows on either side of the entrance at both the ground and first floors, with the left-hand window at the ground floor being enlarged and the first-floor windows being smaller. Carved heads are positioned beneath the outer windows between the ground and first floors.

The northeast elevation features single-storey lean-to ancillary structures with slated roofs. The inn has twelve-pane timber sash and case windows, a reed roof with a turf ridge, and mutual gablehead chimney stacks with circular cans.

Inside, the inn includes a stone floor, timber ceiling beams, a fireplace, and a plaque.
