You might be interested in the Financial Section on this site. Banks, like Building Societies, often have a restricted range of services - and are notoriously conservative when investing your money. This usually results in very low rates of return. Our financial section covers other Financial Institutions, Mortgages, Investment Consultants, Credit & Finance Companies - and Crowd Funding!

What you put in is exactly what you get out. Below is the national site. Watch this slot - it might improve!

A friendly and relaxed environment. Great with kids and scared adults!

Sandgate Dentistry

59 Sandgate, Ayr KA7 1DA, UK – 01292 266587

I have been going to the named dentist once a week for the past month. I see the male dentist mark and its the best place to have work done , happy friendly staff and always happy with my treatment .

I go to Dr Stanbridge and I've never had any problems. She's always been polite, friendly and patient with me (I'm very nervous at the dentist!) I'm really surprised by some of the reviews on here, really doesn't sound like the same lady.

Art of Dentistry by Dr David Wiseman

171 Main St, Prestwick KA9 1LB, UK – 01292 473707

After many years of pain and shame with my teeth and an ongoing struggle with the NHS dental services I done my research and found what I believe to be the best dental practice in Scotland, Dr David Wiseman and his team at the Art Of Dentistry in Prestwick, Ayrshire. After the first visit to them I knew I was in the right place, even with my fear of going the dentist I felt very calm. My teeth were a mess and I never used to smile for pictures now I can be seen beeming from ear to ear. David and his team's work has transformed my top and bottom teeth to a very high standard, I always get compliments on my smile everywhere I go. I can honestly say it's the best money I have spent in my life! Do not have any doubts in using their wonderful service. Three years on and my teeth are still in perfect condition and look like they were done yesterday. I am a member of their practice plan which is great value for money and keeps them well maintained. I would highly recommend Art Of Dentistry and Dr David Wiseman to anyone who is considering having work done to their teeth, their work is of an extremely high standard and they helped reassure me every step of the way.

Having had a couple of problems with dentists over the years I carried out some research on Dr David Wiseman before booking a consultation. Just like spending money on a home improvement i took a second and third opinion with two other dental surgeons, hands down Dr Wiseman was by far the most professional, he explained every detail of what procedures i would need to bring my teeth back to a good state. Having had the extensive treatments I can confirm that he is a magician at his work, simply amazing results. From the start of the process to aftercare Dr Wiseman and his staff were very empathetic to my concerns and wishes, i've ended up with more confidence and a smile that suits my age and life. I can not recommend this surgery enough, if you want professional dental treatment at affordable prices then give them a call, you will not be disappointed :)

The aim of this site is to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill (20.9 million tonnes of it last year in the UK) and recycling is great news for the environment.
We all know that we need to recycle more - and this is a great way of doing it.

Ayr India

10 Seafield Rd, Ayr KA7 4AD, UK – 01292 263731

Visited here today, 8/7/18, had been meaning to try it for a while. I don’t often leave reviews but feel this little place deserves the positive review I’m giving. My wife and I were welcomed by the the very friendly staff, shown to our table at the window with a beautiful view over the sea. The food was perfectly cooked & the flavours were spot-on, the accompanying rice was light and fluffy... the staff were all very attentive and the price was very reasonable. All-in-all a perfect first time experience, thank you. We will be back πŸ‘πŸ½

Bit out of the way but worth the effort in finding it. On the promenade in Ayr and the view over to Arrange on a beautiful summer night was lovely. Food was great and plentiful although a tad pricey but staff were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. Will return in the future I'm sure.
