caption_attribution_description: English: Old port and fishery cottages, Carleton Bay, Lendalfoot, South Ayrshire, Scotland.
context_page_description: Lendalfoot is a small village located on Carleton Bay, parish of Colmonell in the old district of Carrick, now South Ayrshire, about 6 miles south of Girvan, Scotland. This is mainly a farming district, lacking in woodland, with a low population density. The village sits astride the A77 that runs north to Girvan and south to Cairnryan and Stranraer. Carleton Hill rises to 520 feet or 158 metres from the road and is the site near its summit of earth banks, an ancient fort.
  The Lendal Water rises from Loch Lochton and runs around four miles before reaching the village and the sea at Carleton Bay.
  Lendalfoot is the closest Mainland Scotland village to Ailsa Craig.
context_section_description: A small port was located at Carleton Port, used until the 1950s judging from old photographs, consisting once of a mast for drying nets, a concrete slip way, a winch, break waters built from stones cleared to give a sandy landing area and the 'Black or Salmon hut' built onto an old sea stack, dating from at least 1938 where the fishermen kept their nets, etc. In 1832 the Carleton Fishery was built, consisting of a row of fishermens cottages that survive as private dwellings. One of the last fishermen had the nickname 'Mahogany', presumably from his sun and weather beaten skin colour. The remains of an old boat still lies close to the black hut (datum 2018).
