 Access

English (Translate this text in English): Shore access: From A78 at Wemyss Bay Hotel turn down Wemyss Bay Road (private road). Park up in the lay-by near the grassy square with a brown wooden fence. Kit up and hop over the fence, down to the rocky shore and access where there are steps cut into the rockface. From the surface you need to drop down to 10m and find the pipe. Follow the pipe down to the fitting (tee into elbow into blank flange) and follow the rope to the bow of the Kintyre.

Boat access: The wreck has a permanent shot line on the bow.
