The exoskeleton of a Heart Urchin (top and bottom) which I found on Irvine Beach on the Clyde coast today. They get their name from the shape of their shells, but when they're alive, they're more reminiscent of their other somewhat less romantic name: The Sea Potato!

Another picture of the Stone Dragon which lies curled around the top of a low hill at Irvine Beach Park on the Ayrshire Coast to the southwest of Glasgow.

All At Sea by Mary Bourne on the sea front of the Irvine Beach Park. It shows a fisherman in a small rowing boat fighting against a massive wave to pull in his nets.

The Stone Dragon on the sand dunes of Irvine Beach Park on the Clyde Coast. It's made from red sandstone salvaged from demolished tenements.
