Welcome to the webpages for the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory. We hope you enjoy your visit.

We are pleased to see that the Scottish Dark Sky Observatory is now the Number 1 attrraction in Ayrshire as reviewed on Trip Advisor.

Thank you to all our reviewers – we very much appreciate the feedback.

The Scottish Dark Sky Observatory is proud to announce that we feature in an advert for the Toyota Auris, in the “This Way” club magazine, spring edition and on-line. It may be a TV advert too.

Don’t forget you can still take advantage of our “Friends of the SDSO” membership package – for an annual membership you can get reduced prices, access to closed events and other perks.

See our membership and events pages for more details.

All visits to the SDSO must be pre-booked.

Please also note that the road to the observatory is not built to normal road standards, being a forestry type road, but is passable with care with normal vehicles.  With this in mind it is best to contact us before making your way to the observatory where we can discuss options including using local transport.
