Ayrshire

The Telescopic "Bridge of Scottish Inventors" was a footbridge to serve an exhibition center built on the site of an old dynamite factory at the southern tip of the Ardeer peninsula in North Ayrshire it was opened in 2000 and closed after just 3 years due to low visitor numbers, the bridge has been locked in the open position to allow shipping to pass, Another image in 16.9 format so a large view may be beneficial, HFF and a good but safe week,

Ballantrae, Ayrshire.

Recharging from the National Grid, HFF and a Merry Christmas to one and all

Just two heads appear over the shingle ridge on an overcast and windy day, Ballantrae Beach on the Ayrshire coast. Better large I think.

The wooden trawler "Freebird" under extensive overhaul at Alexander Noble & Sons Limited, Girvan, Scotland, Unable to find any information on the trawler so she may have had a name change. The River in the foreground is "Girvan Water" and the image is taken form a pontoon adjacent to the Lifeboat Station. HFF and a good weekend to everyone. A large view may be better and see pip for a closer view.

A sturdy fence and very sturdy bollards on the South Pier at Ayr, both this pier and the breakwater on the other side of the harbour entrance have navigation lights but with totally differing structures while the land mass in the distance across the Firth of Clyde is the isle of Arran, The breakwater is put to good use by a colony of Cormorants. Ayr is the county town of Ayrshire, the administration center of South Ayrshire, and Ayr is the 15th largest settlement in Scotland. Wish you HFF and a nice weekend, but please stay safe

This is a small rocky island which lies at around 1 km (1⁄2 mi) west of the North Ayrshire town of Ardrossan, A 16-metre-tall (52 ft) stone beacon stands at the south end of Horse Isle, marking the island for shipping. (Large view please)

A sunny day in Maidens, a village in the Kirkoswald parish of Ayrshire, Scotland. Situated on the coast of the Firth of Clyde at the southern end of Maidenhead Bay, a series of rocks known as the "Maidens” form a natural harbour. The village lies 2 miles (3 km) north of the ruinous Turnberry Castle, ancient seat of the Earls of Carrick, Wikipedia.

A Hazy view across the Firth of Clyde to the islands of Little Cumbrae and Arran with Kintyre in the far distance, captured from Farland Head, Portencross on the North Ayrshire coast. A link from the late great Gene Clark www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOcQZY5k4XM HBM and a nice week to everyone Better large in my opinion
