Gannet pair in flight

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.

Opening times

No formal visiting arrangements. The island is best viewed from the sea - tours around the island run from Girvan and Campbeltown during the summer and are dependant on calm sea conditions.
