The Prestwick Pioneer
Article date: 03 Jul 2012
A former Woolworths is now home to Wetherspoon’s first pub in Prestwick.
The Prestwick Pioneer is managed by Colin Rawson, previously manager at The West Kirk, in Ayr.

The pub’s name pays homage to David McIntyre, one of Scotland’s leading aviation pioneers and the man behind Prestwick Airport.
He later set up Scottish Aviation, manufacturing the single-engine Prestwick Pioneer aircraft.
