Lendalfoot is a small village located on Carleton Bay, parish of Colmonell in the old district of Carrick, now South Ayrshire, about six miles (ten kilometres) south of Girvan, Scotland.[1] This is mainly a farming district, lacking in woodland, with a low population density. The village sits astride the A77 that runs north to Girvan and south to Cairnryan and Stranraer. Carleton Hill rises to 520 feet or 158 metres from the road and is the site near its summit of earth banks, an ancient fort.[1]
The Lendal Water rises from Loch Lochton and runs around four miles (six kilometres) before reaching the village and the sea at Carleton Bay.[2]
Lendalfoot is the closest Mainland Scotland village to Ailsa Craig.[3]
