July 2006 ... in glorious sunshine 54 twinners from Crosne (France), Bogen and Schotten (Germany) and Rymarov (Czech Republic) were welcomed by members of Maybole Town Twinning Association who had organised the annual “Tour de Jumelage” at Auchincruive, Ayr.  As there were many new people from Crosne a visit was made to Maybole in the late afternoon and dinner in the evening brought together all the delegations.On the next morning (Thursday) everyone set off for Alloway, walking from the Burns Experience to Greenan Shore where a picnic was enjoyed by all. Two members of the French group even braving a swim. ..the rest of the story and more photos.

The international cycle tour in July 2000 was an ideal opportunity to start the new millennium with broader international links including an official twinning with Schotten. Events included sporting and cultural e.g. cycling and walking. Each country organised activities highlighting their national culture.
 

Maybole's Millenniun celebrations included twinning these twinning events as reported in the Ayrshire Post
