Ailsa Craig lies nine miles offshore, rising to 1,109 feet. The dramatic seacliffs are home to the third largest gannetry in the UK - comprising 36,000 pairs - with a supporting cast of guillemots, razorbills, black guillemots and increasing numbers of puffins.
It is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Protection Area because it supports 73,000 breeding seabirds. It dominates the outer Clyde; often referred to as Paddy's milestone, it lies halfway between Glasgow and Belfast.
Ailsa Craig is accessible only by boat - tours run from Girvan and Campbeltown during summer.
