Steeped in History
Rising dramatically from the Firth of Clyde, Ailsa Craig is a must-see feature of the local landscape – visible from the shores near Brunston and easily accessible via seasonal boat tours from nearby Girvan Harbour.
This uninhabited volcanic island is a protected bird sanctuary, home to puffins, gannets, and guillemots. Its history is just as fascinating as its geology; Ailsa Craig was once quarried for its rare granite, famously used in Olympic curling stones. Boat tours allow you to get close to its towering cliffs and abundant wildlife, making it a standout experience for nature lovers and photographers.
Lodge owners and visitors alike will find Ailsa Craig an awe-inspiring and unique local landmark – one that embodies the wild beauty of this part of Scotland.
