Introduction
The photograph on this page of Climbing up on the Maybole By-Pass by Mary and Angus Hogg as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

Although the contractors have smoothed out the gradient on this stretch, a climbing lane allows lighter traffic to overtake the lorries. Maybole is a much safer and more pleasant place now that this sort of traffic no longer has to file its way through the town centre. Image shows what McQuiston’s Corner was like in 2019.
