The book was produced in a project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Hadyard Hill Community Benefit Fund Ltd. The project was managed by Ailsa Horizons on behalf of the Carrick Community Councils' Forum.

With it's 4 sections of Geology, Flora, Fauna & History, the book has two main aims: firstly to help local people to learn more about their area and take more pride in it, and secondly to give visitors and potential visitors to Carrick - literally beyond the tourist guides - good reasons to spend time in this relatively unfrequented part of South West Scotland. It is packed with much unknown information on the Carrick area - but it is not tiring - with great imagery from the Girvan Camera Club and local artists included also.
