Ayr - Beggs Factory

I was lucky enough to stay with my family for an extra day as I had a factory visit in Ayr which is about 2 hours away from where I was in Livingston so first thing Tuesday morning I boarded a train and headed to Ayr. The factory there is incredible, we got a behind the scenes tour to see how all of our goods are manufactured and the factory also produce for the likes of Louis Vuitton and Hermes Paris - its a bit surreal walking around with piles of Louis Vuitton blankets and scarves just sitting there! Its such an interesting process - techniques and machinery are still in use from hundreds of years ago. Everyone was so lovely and welcoming and Ayr itself is a really sweet quaint town. At 6pm we boarded a flight back to London, I have been in the office for 3 days now and am re-packing tonight to head to Spain for a week with some girlfriends where I plan to do nothing but sit on a beach and sip cocktails! Oh la la!
