Ailsa Craig is an island in the Firth of Clyde off the coast of Ayrshire. Long known as Paddy's milestone, it marks the halfway point of the sea journey from Belfast to Glasgow.

A spectacular landmark, it measures about ¾ by ½ mile and rising 1,100 ft. above sea level. The island has become a sanctuary for  seabirds, especially gannets and puffins, following the eradication of rats that hitched a ride on boats ferrying quarry workers and  lighthouse personnel to the island.  The granite quarried has been especially prized for making the  stones for ice curling a Scottish game that dates back to the 16th century, known as a bonspiel.

Approximate Size: 80"* x 60" (l x w)  *includes 3½" fringes

This was a gift for my husband to sit outside.

He loves it. It is beautiful, well made and warm. It reminds him of his Scottish heritage and makes him happy.
