In 2013 Dumfries House in conjunction with local Ayrshire Youth Groups helped to develop the Youth United Ayrshire programme based at Dumfries House.

The Tamar Manoukian Outdoor Residential Centre, Indoor Gymnasium and Outdoor Leadership area were developed to support young people and youth groups in residential experiences, DH supported programmes and to assist in youth group staffed activities. 

Within the next few weeks the TMOC will be able to offer indoor sports facilities, spin cycle, climbing & traversing , leadership & team building and Archery as well as more traditional outdoor activities.
