Description:
Another incredible sunset on the Scottish west coast , over the island of Ailsa Craig, taken from the village of Dunure in Ayrshire.The island, known locally as "Paddy's Milestone" due to its proximity to Northern Ireland, was a haven for Catholics during the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century, but is today a bird sanctuary, providing a home for huge numbers of gannets and an increasing number of puffins.
