Popcorn Beach, or Playa del Bajo de la Burra as it is originally called, is one of the most interesting beaches in Fuerteventura. It is not your typical beach, as instead of rocks, pebbles, or sand, this beach is actually covered in popcorn. Well, not really, but the small white algae fossils that cover much of the coast look exactly like puffy popcorn!

These marine algae are called rhodoliths and although initially red in color, they turn white over time. The waves push them ashore, also giving them their unique shape. This natural phenomenon can be observed in other beaches too, but Popcorn Beach in Fuerteventura is one of the most impressive!

Symington Parish Church South Ayrshire
The Norman church in Symington is amongst the oldest in Scotland and is certainly one of the most beautiful.

The church was founded in 1160AD by Symon Loccard, a local landowner who owned land in both Ayrshire and Lanarkshire. It is understood that the village and parish derived its name (originally "Symonstown") from him.

The original building consisted only of the main section of the current church and would have had a mud floor with people bringing their own seating to services. In 1750 during the ministry of Richard Cunningham the church underwent extensive repairs and was furnished with new pews. The walls and ceiling were plastered, thus covering the magnificent oak beams that towered above. In 1797 the then minister William Logan had the North side of the building extended to form a transept with gallery above.

Two other galleries were also added, one at the East end and one at the West end. In building the East gallery the lovely central Norman arch was broken into to make a doorway to the gallery, miraculously it was not destroyed beyond repair.

In 1919 the church was restored under the leadership of the Rev. John Gage Boyd and the skilled direction of Dr. MacGregor Chalmers. The plaster was removed from the ceiling and walls revealing the original oak beams.
