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 at home and abroad. Words by me, photos (mainly) by him.

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..

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.

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

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!
