Overview

Meet at Paisley Gilmour Street Train Station in time for 0954 train to Fairlie arriving at 1043.   Return ticket to Largs required.   Leader will get on at Johnstone.

Walk consists of paths, pavements and roads.   There is a steep section in first half of walk and a wall with ten steps to climb over which has a handrail.

There are nice views over to Millport at times.   We reach the top of the Kelburn estate before heading down a glen towards Kelburn Castle.   There are some steep drops at the glen so some care needed.   Lunch is at The Beech Plateau within Kelburn Estate.   Toilets are available approximately 20 minutes after lunch.

Thereafter we make our way towards The Pencil and walk along seafront into Largs.   It can be muddy so boots recommended.
