Ailsa Craig
Fairy Rock
Ailsa Craig lies in the Firth of Clyde, about 15 miles south of
Arran;
this 1114ft high mountain island is now a bird sanctuary for gannets (with the
first reference made in 1583). There are summer excursions to the island from
Girvan.
This small island is also known as Paddy's Milestone due
to it's location between Glasgow and Belfast. A legend
has it that the island is a rock that was thrown here by a giant in Ireland.
A small castle on the island was held in the name of Spain
during the Reformation.
