Dalrymple Street is the main shopping area for Girvan though, like many other small towns, it has suffered from the combined effects of the credit crunch, supermarket competition and the growing popularity of internet shopping. However, even with so many empty properties, Girvan has retained a good number of independent shops and businesses. This view looks northwards towards the saltire flying on the McKechnie Institute.
