I spend quite a lot of time in Irvine. It has a cracking harbour and beach and you can catch lots of folk enjoying it in all seasons (although “enjoying” might be more appropriate for winter). Most weekends you’ll also find horses and their humans going for a gallop along the sand. There’s a fair few birds around to be captured if your lens is long enough.
But this time we’re here for the indoor portion of the Scottish Maritime Museum. There’s a charge to get in but it’s genuinely interesting. The west of Scotland relied on the Clyde and its shipbuilding expertise when it was growing during the industrial revolution. Most of that has disappeared now but we have places like this to help us remember. I, admittedly, never tried to utilise my tripod but they are probably open to their use when it’s not super busy. And there’s plenty of rust…. I have a rust problem….
Loads of stuff to get you thinking and well worth a visit.
