Waterloo
The rock strata on the shore here have been tilted by tectonic movements, so that the dark mudstones laid down on top of the paler ones appear alongside one another. The foreground strata are Triassic, and beyond the old outfall pipe the presence of ammonite fossils marks the transition upwards into the Jurassic.

The grave of James Chaine, Larne
James Chaine as well as being the local MP was also the owner of Larne harbour. He was most assiduous in his duties and, in May 1885, while making last-minute preparations outdoors for the arrival of Queen Victoria, he caught a chill from which he died. He is buried in this grave at the Bankheads overlooking the approach to the harbour.
