THE paddle steamer Waverley has taken passengers on their first trip around Ailsa Craig this summer.

The trip, on Monday, July 8, is the first of just three opportunities offered by the ship to sail around Ailsa Craig this year.

The vessel sailed from Largs, Ayr and Girvan in glorious conditions for the popular cruise, giving passengers fantastic views of the uninhabited island.
