SeaSlipway (disused)
South Ayrshire, ScotlandThis second slip at Maidens Harbour is mapped by OpenStreetMap as disused, about 250 metres from the harbour's main working slipway, on the same stretch of Firth of Clyde coast near Turnberry and Culzean Castle.
SeaMaidens put-in
South Ayrshire, ScotlandThis slipway launches from Maidens Harbour on the Firth of Clyde, a small harbour built in the mid-19th century by the Marquess of Ailsa to serve a shipyard and gas works. It grew up around a fishing community once noted for ring-net herring fishing and now sits near Culzean Castle and Turnberry.
SeaGirvan put-in
South Ayrshire, ScotlandThis slipway is at Girvan Harbour on South Ayrshire's Firth of Clyde coast, where the River Girvan reaches the sea. It has an asphalt surface with vehicle access and no launch fee, and the harbour itself mainly serves fishing boats alongside some leisure and charter vessels.
SeaBarassie put-in (Troon)
South Ayrshire, ScotlandThis second slipway lies roughly 450 metres along Harbour Road from the first Barassie launch point, in the same harbour area of Troon on the Firth of Clyde, close to Troon Yacht Haven marina.
SeaBarassie put-in (Troon)
South Ayrshire, ScotlandThis slipway is on Harbour Road in the Barassie part of Troon, next to Troon Yacht Haven marina on the Firth of Clyde. The coast here looks out towards the Isle of Arran and is used for sailing, kitesurfing and windsurfing as well as paddling.
SeaBallantrae put-in
South Ayrshire, ScotlandThis slipway is at Ballantrae Harbour, where the River Stinchar meets Ballantrae Bay on the Firth of Clyde. The slip is tidal, usable for roughly two to three hours either side of high water, and the stone-quayed harbour dates from 1846 when it was a working herring port.
