Ardrossan, Dec. 20, ELIZABETH ANN jigger, of Belfast, Lowrie, from Cienfuegos for Port Dundas, with ground rock salt, went ashore yesterday a little to the North of Kildonan Point, Arran: crew saved. The coastguard have now charge of the vessel, which has shifted about a mile further South than where she first stranded. A kedge has been run out to haul her off.

Kildonan Point is not noted on the 2001 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. The name probably applies to one of the projecting rocks depicted to the E of the village.
The loss of this vessel is not cited by I G Whittaker (1998), presumably on account of her successful recovery.
