Skelmorlie is a village in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Although it is the northernmost negotiation in the council location of North Ayrshire it is contiguous with Wemyss Bay, which is in Inverclyde. The splitting line is the Kelly Burn, which streams into the Firth of Clyde simply south of the Rothesay ferryboat terminal. In spite of their distance, both villages have actually traditionally been split, Skelmorlie in Ayrshire and Wemyss Bay in Renfrewshire. Skelmorlie itself is divided into two areas, Lower as well as Upper Skelmorlie. There is one primary school in the town, with secondary age students going to Largs Academy in North Ayrshire. Alike with this part of the Clyde foreshore the abundant red sandstone is a popular attribute of the landscape and also real estate in Skelmorlie.
