The old hands – still at it

Don MacNeish and Howard Wood were founder members of COAST back in 1995, and here they still are, assisting with a beach clean-up on the shore north of Clauchlands point. Last week, Kristina Boerder and other volunteer friends gathered up and bagged literally boat-loads of rubbish from this beach, the tied bags now waiting to be collected by boat.

This beautiful beach forms part of Arran’s Coastal Way, much used by walkers. It features lovely salt marshes and volcanic dykes, and birds nest in the cliffs above the shore.

COAST are always grateful for help with beach cleaning and practical jobs. If you’d like to give a hand, contact Andrew Binnie through the COAST website or on 600 656.
