Hunterston Terminal from Fairlie

 Clydeport Hunterston Terminal from Fairlie

The port, completed in 1979,

was originally called 
Hunterston Ore Terminal

 and was intended to handle iron ore

 for British Steel's Ravenscraig steelworks.

 Existing facilities at General Terminus Quay on the upper 
River Clyde

 were unsuitable for increasingly large vessels,

hoever Hunterston, with its one-mile-long ( 1.6 km ) jetty,

is able to handle modern ships of any size.

Kelburn Estate

Kelburn Castle and Estate at Fairlie

Kelburn Castle is a large house near Fairlie

It is the seat of the Earl of Glasgow.

Originally built in the thirteenth century

 ( the original 
keep forms the core of the house )

it was remodelled in the sixteenth century.

In 1700 the first Earl made further extensions to the house

 in a manner not unlike a French 
château

 which is virtually how it appears today

  In 1977 the house and grounds opened

 to the public as a country park.

It is one of the oldest castles in Scotland

and has been continuously inhabited

 by the same family for longer than any other.

 The castle is protected as a category "A"
listed building,

 while the grounds are included in the Inventory

 of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland
.
