The Rozelle House Museum and Galleries guide is a new addition to the app.

Nestled in the picturesque Rozelle Park in Ayr, Rozelle House has been a cultural gem since it was gifted by the Hamilton family to the Royal Burgh of Ayr in 1968. Now managed by South Ayrshire Council, the museum is home to stunning Alexander Goudie paintings and Henry Moore's remarkable sculpture Draped Reclining Figure, one of only seven of his works on display in Scotland.

The exhibition programme at Rozelle House supports local artists and societies, hosts major national touring exhibitions, and presents newly commissioned projects. It showcases the South Ayrshire Council Collection through a variety of exhibitions that celebrate fine art and local history.

A highlight of the Rozelle House guide is the audio tour of the Alexander Goudie collection, featuring the captivating series 'A Tale of Tam o' Shanter'. This collection brings to life Robert Burns' famous poem through Goudie's masterful paintings. Additionally, the guide includes content from past exhibitions and detailed information about the South Ayrshire Council's collection, with regular updates to keep the content fresh and engaging.
