-The village stands on the banks of the River Doon, a few miles from the sea, the village running contiguously into Doonfoot where the Doon enters the sea across a broad beach.  Alloway is now partly contiguous with Ayr, growing into a suburb the two separated by narrow parks and a golf course.  The Brig o' Doon, a late medieval bridge, crosses the Doon in the south of the village.  It is celebrated in the climax of ''Tam o' Shanter''.}}<noinclude>
