Ailsa View
Ailsa View
A distant view of Ailsa Craig taken from the passenger steamer "Waverley" on a beautiful late-July afternoon when the Craig was developing a small cloud cap. The island lies half-way between Glasgow and Belfast, giving rise to the nick-name of “Paddy’s Milestone”, a landmark for Irish immigrants heading for Scotland in the 19th century.
