| Caption: | Oblique aerial view of the south end of the island of Ailsa Craig. Looking north-east. |
| Description: | The spectacular sea cliffs on the north, west and south of the island are the product of marine erosion although for the most part the cliff foot is now about 5 to 10 m. above sea level and so marks a raised shoreline. The Holy Island intrusion can be seen in the far distance. In the centre is the 'Rotten Nick' a prominent slack (depression) denuded along a vertical dolerite dyke and pseudo-columnar microgranite cliffs. Other traces of dykes can be seen to the right. |
