About Ballantrae

  • Ailsa Craig, the dramatic volcanic plug that rises 338 metres from the Firth of Clyde and is visible from Ballantrae, is one of the most distinctive landmarks on the west coast of Scotland. The island, which is a National Nature Reserve, is home to one of the largest gannet colonies in the world, with over 36,000 breeding pairs, and it is also the source of the granite used to make curling stones — the Ailsa Craig granite, known as Blue Hone, has a unique combination of hardness and low water absorption that makes it ideal for the purpose. Glenapp Castle, a short distance from Ballantrae, is a Victorian Gothic castle that is now operated as a luxury hotel and is one of the most celebrated country house hotels in Scotland.
