On account of its shape, the route followed by the Auchincarroch Road (and by its continuation to this junction) is invariably referred to locally as "the Horseshoe". It is almost 10km in length. Shown here is one end of that road, at the point where it branches off from the main road (Image); for a view back down that road towards the point from which the present photograph was taken, see Image The buildings at the junction include two Bed and Breakfast establishments: Alba (left) and Ballagan House (right); see Image for another view. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1713072 for the other end of the Horseshoe.
