History 

Ayr 1922 is a historical bungalow in Padukka, Sri Lanka, connected to the tea plantations of Ceylon during the British colonial era. The story begins with a young tea planter who was a trainee, known as a "Creeper." He walked the rough paths of the estate while learning how to grow tea and speak the local Tamil language. His hard work and dedication show the challenges faced by planters in adapting to life on the plantation in the early 1900s.

The bungalow also has a romantic story. A young planter fell in love with a Scottish noblewoman and built Ayr 1922 as a way to win her heart. He designed it to look like a Scottish castle. The bungalow sits on a hilltop and was made using large stone blocks that elephants helped carry up the slopes. Its architecture shows the influence of British colonial style and represents both love and the impact of British culture on Sri Lanka. Today, Ayr 1922 is a symbol of the personal stories and history of the people who lived there.
