Hugh was however discovered by The Rev. Andrew Knox, a Protestant minister (who later became both Lord Bishop of the Isles and Lord Bishop of Raphoe). Barclay thereafter deliberately drowned himself in the sea [43] or did so accidentally whilst trying to escape. [44] Hesilrige, Arthur G. M. (1921). Debrett's Peerage and Titles of courtesy. London, UK: Dean & son, limited. p.29. Ailsa Craig produced two types of granite for curling, Blue Hone and Ailsa Craig Common Green. Blue Hone, which is unique to Ailsa Craig, has very low water absorption, which prevents the action of repeatedly freezing water from eroding the stone. [64] Ailsa Craig Common Green is a lesser quality granite than Blue Hone. In the past, most curling stones were made from Blue Hone but the quarry is restricted by environmental conditions that exclude blasting.

The chief well on the island lies above 'the Loups', and this was used by the Northern Lighthouse Board which built a cistern there and piped the water to the lighthouse complex. The 'Horse Well' was located behind the gasworks; the 'Castle Well' stands above Ailsa Castle, and finally the Garry Loch sits higher up and once supplied water to the tenant's cottage. [21] The island is approximately 16km ( 8 + 1⁄ 2nmi) west of Girvan; it is 4km ( 2 + 1⁄ 2mi) [16] in circumference and rises to a height of 340m (1,120ft). [5] The island is part of the administrative district of South Ayrshire, in the ancient parish of Dailly. Slowworms ( Anguis fragilis) are found on the island, although they suffered greatly when badgers and raccoons were introduced by Lord Ailsa. The badgers did not survive long, but the racoons bred for a number of years. [70] A slowworm on the island The island is now a bird sanctuary, leased by the RSPB until 2050. [73] Huge numbers of gannets nest here.

The risk-taker number 5 reflects humanity, satisfaction from what life has to offer and freedom of expression. Number 5's energy is a bold, non-conventional one, that is drawn to uncertainties and life's indulgences. The purpose behind the vibration of number 5 hints at inspiring others to take charge and make the required transformations in their lives.

The island, colloquially known as " Paddy's milestone", [8] was a haven for Catholics during the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century, but is today a bird sanctuary, providing a home for huge numbers of gannets and an increasing number of puffins. Fishermen seem to have used the island for centuries, first being noted in 1549 [22] and it is recorded that they even at one time slept beneath sails stretched over hollows on the beach. [23] Ailsa Craig had two quite separate rail transport systems, one dated from 1886 and supplied coal, oil fuel and provisions to the lighthouse and gas works via the North Port and later the New Jetty and the other transported road stone from the quarries at Kennedy's Nags via the stone crusher to the Quarry Pier. The Northern Lighthouse Board's tramway had a section worked via a powered cableway that hauled wagons up from the North Port and later from the new jetty.a b c BBC News (21 March 2013).
