Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) intend to develop the fields at Whitefield Farm and existing slipway to create a timber transport facility in King's Cross similar but much larger than the existing facility at the industrial zone in Brodick.
Friends of King's Cross has been formed to prevent the existing farmland being transformed into an industrial site that will be both noisy and visually intrusive to many including local properties, users of the many footpaths in the area, the retreats on Holy Isle and the centre of Lamlash village.
Kings's Cross has some of Arran's finest wildlife. Check out these wonderful images captured around King's Cross by Scottish photographer Jamie McDermaid
