What an amazing place. Day trip on the MFV Glorious with 3 hours ashore. Plenty of time to get to the top, and time enough for a spot of fishing from the pier before we left. Good day for it. A bit of hazy sunshine, but visibility good at our level. Well worth the wait to get here. Lots of history and pretty much everything untouched. Magic.

A most memorable day out. Great weather. Boat trip out to and around Ailsa Craig aboard `MV Glorious`. The 1114Ft high island is approximately 10 miles out from the Ayrshire coast at Girvan. Three hours to land, explore island, and bag the summit trig point.

over from Girvan,got dropped on the island on my own for 3 hours while everyone on the boat went fishing, stiff climb from the shore but the path is easy enough to follow,up and down in about 90 minutes,1st time in 8days in Arran and then Aryshire that the cloud rolled in but it soon cleared again,spent the rest of the time looking round the old building, great day out to finish my week away.

vgc, metal cap, deep letters. Stonebuilt, rather squat, in shelter cairn. Smallish grassy summit, steep path, great view including Arran and Kintyre. Revisited for the trig, this time with a Marilyn-bagging group, on MV Glorious as ever. Grey morning, lovely sunny p.m. 3h ashore, spent at summit and visiting the South Horn. A big bird-free outcrop was much admired by the climbers. Several hundred Gannets still on the sea cliffs.

Stone built, intact and good nick on top of a quite rough and very steep hill, easy enough from the wardens cottage, the path through the bracken is well trampled. Rough crossing back mind.
