Doonfoot Bridge, River Doon, South Ayrshire
The general view, looking south-east.
We are often asked if our kites ever affect wildlife, and the answer is always no. In this view as well as ducks, swans and seabirds all swimming happily to and fro under the kite you can also see on the left where a hippo just submerged and the wake of a playful dolphin on the right, just under the bridge. (OK. Tell the truth. We lied about the ducks.)
A panorama of the whole area from further off-shore.
This is known as the Doonfoot Millenium Bridge and is a footbridge between Cunning Park and Doonfoot just short of Greenan Shore. It is also included in Stage 6 of the Ayrshire Coastal Path as well as being an important part of Cycle Route 7. The beach on the left reaches to Ayr harbour about two miles (3.2k) away and on the right the beach is about one and a half miles (2.2k) long and runs past Greenan Castle and Craig Tara Holiday Park (once called Butlin's in Ayr).
A couple of closer views.
The Brig O'Doon is about a mile upstream from here.
