• Girvan Scenic Lookout

    25 Mei 2024, Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    We had planned for another free camp somewhere along the coastline on our way up to the ferry at Ardrossan.
    We stopped off at Portpatrick in the morning. This proved to be a very pretty village centred around the port.
    We parked up at the harbour and enjoyed our walk along the seafront and then completed the walk up the cliff path to view Dunkley Castle. There was an artist showing off her wares in a house near the sea-front as part of the Galloway open studio weekend.
    After that, we drove to Stranraer, where we, first of all, restocked at Lidl and Morrisons.
    We then parked up next to the marina and had a look in the town, which was everything we expected it to be. Its highlight was the old Castle of St John, which is open to view in the centre of the town.
    Stranraer done we headed north to find somewhere quiet for the night. After dismissing a car park at Ballantrae we settled on the Girvan Scenic Viewpoint, a large rest area on the coast road.
    From our vantage point, we were looking directly at the Ailsa Craig, we could see Arran to the north west, the Kintyre Peninsula behind the Ailsa Craig and Northern Ireland to the south west.
    We enjoyed another peaceful night.
