A 100-foot-tall granite obelisk situated on a hill overlooking the town of Largs, North Ayrshire, Scotland, commemorating the 1824 visit of King George IV to Scotland, offering panoramic views of the Firth of Clyde and the surrounding countryside.
Located in the centre of a massive wind farm, surrounded by gargantuan windmills. I was visiting Lochgoin Covenanters Museum. Entry is free. A 3 room memorial without staff. Quite moving and patently well-cared for. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in Scottish history, so SNP supporters should not venture thereto. I also visited Fenwick Kirk as there are connexions.
Great place for dog walkers at whitelee windfarm. See if you can see any of our kindness rocks that we left there with walking with the wounded charity pictured.
Never knew there was a museum there, it wasn't open because of Covid. The monument is interesting to see, a great view from it on a clear day
Went to the monument and the museum, both of which were very interesting. The farmer or perhaps his son, who host the museum and whose road leads to the monument and museum, seem to have some sort of vendetta about people using their road even though the museum is advertised and directed from the bottom of the road. This is shame as the farmer's wife was very helpful, in opening the museum and discussing the history of the monument and the Covenanters.
Cycled over to this from the Eaglesham Moor road and was rewarded with the sound of a nearby cuckoo. There is a nearby museum but it was closed on the day of my visit.
This is a stopping place on your walk up the windfarm. Fantastic view. If you love peace m quiet GO.
