January Light: Ailsa Craig (2)
After yesterday’s twilight view of Ailsa Craig, here it is in daylight, this time viewed from Girvan.
Part of Becky’s January Squares Challenge: words ending in light.
Gallivanting in my home city and further afield. Words by me, photos (mainly) by him. The good ones anyway!

It’s a strange island when you are on it. Would not like to be stranded there. Surprisingly remote and lonely atmosphere, despite thousands of noisy seabirds in season..

I have never been on it, but I would like to.

Just looked it up and I see it was filmed on Culzean beach. Could see Arran too in one of the stills.

I recognised the distinctive shape of the island straight away. Especially after being reminded via your photos.

Thanks again – as with anything good, John is the photographer, but I apply brilliant editing to meet the challenge.

Hard to get Ailsa Craig wrong, it’s so beautiful sitting out there.

It looks exactly like the “plug” it is (although I really like Birgit’s description of it as a cupcake!).

It does! I liked cupcake too.

It was such a lovely day – this was last week on our way home from a couple of days “twixmas” break. The other days had not been good weather – just our luck!

And you can see it from miles down the coast. It’s great.
