Welcome to The Cathcart Street Practice

Team of GPs standing in front of surgery entrance

We are a young, friendly and approachable practice team. Our aim is to provide a caring, high quality and personal service for our patients. 

The practice opened as a GP surgery in 1959. It occupies all four floors of a Grade B-listed Georgian townhouse in Ayr town centre. Over the years it has been ambitiously expanded internally to form a modern and well equipped practice.

We have been an accredited training practice for GPs since 1985 and we are involved in undergraduate training for medical students from the University of Glasgow.
