a panoramic shot of the island
the castle and lighthouse from the sea
.. and 4 other shots as we circumnavigated the island
disembarking from the Glorious
many thanks to Jon for organizing this trip
an unfriendly welcome for those who have landed without permission
at the castle
castle and lighthouse from above
the 338m summit of the island - looking north
- and looking south with the mainland in the distance
looking north to Arran and Holy Island
looking west - the Mull of Kintyre is to the left of the people
the sky is full of seabirds - Ireland can be seen very faintly in the distance
thousands of gannets nest on the cliffs but gulls nest right on the ridge
leaving Ailsa Craig
.. after an exhausting day!
