River Garnock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Garnock flows for approximately 20 miles, through Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire in Scotland.
Its source is between Kilbirnie, Lochwinnoch and Greenock and it flows off the Garnock hills into its estuary near Irvine.
The Spout of the Garnock, is a waterfall located several miles upstream from Kilbirnie. It is the largest waterfall in Ayrshire, and one of the largest in Scotland.
The river is known for its salmon fishing.
Dalgarven Mill, the Ayrshire Museum of Scottish Country Life and Costume is situated on the banks of the Garnock near Kilwinning. The mill is fully restored and still draws water from the Garnock to turn the undershot waterwheel.
