Horse isle Scotland

Horse Isle (Gaelic - Eilean nan Each) is an uninhabited island located in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland near the seaside town of Ardrossan. It is a nature reserve, run by the RSPB. A 52 foot tall stone beacon stands at the south end of Horse Isle marking the island for shipping. Erected in 1811, it was commissioned by Hugh, 12th Earl of Eglinton on the suggestion of John Ross.[2] It is indicated only by the word "landmark" on the Ordnance Survey map. The hazard the island continued to present to shipping is reflected in the number of ships that have been wrecked on the island.
