Skelmorlie, the northernmost settlement in the North Ayrshire Council area, lies on the Firth of Clyde about five miles northwest of Largs. Divided into Upper Skelmorlie and Lower Skelmorlie, the village is separated from nearby Wemyss Bay, which is in Inverclyde, by the Kelly Burn. Skelmorlie developed as a residential resort after the building of a hydropathic hotel in 1868, and Skelmorlie Castle, dating back to the 16th century, was a stronghold of the Montgomery family. In the 19th century it was home to a number of Glasgow tea barons. Today Skelmorlie has a population of around 1800 and s1skelmorlie.com has been developed to allow residents to share their news, views and opinions, publicise events and display photos and videos.
