Event Description:
Strathclyde Lichen Group outing
Date: Tuesday 28th October 2025
Location: Ardmore Point ( Between Cardross and Helensburgh on North side of Firth of Clyde)
Time: 10:00
Duration : 5 Hours
Our next field outing is to Ardmore Point near Cardross. Meet at the Car Park at the bottom of Ardmore Road (NS324786).
This is a site with a large amount of Devonian red Sandstone and conglomerate exposed above the high water mark. There is also an extensive area of mixed woodland and some saltmarsh and bog areas.
Travel to the site by public transport is very difficult with several connecting buses required. Anyone wishing to travel by public transport can be collected from Cardross Railway Station which has direct trains from Glasgow Queen Street.
There are no facilities at the site although a nearby farm shop has a cafe and toilets. Please bring a packed lunch and suitable clothing and footwear. The path is level but can be muddy and we will be heading on to a rocky shore.
Please contact paisleylichens@gmail.com if you are attending, letting us know if you need a lift from Cardross.
