Fossils can be found all along the coast here. However most are of limited quality and all are in extremely hard rock and often huge boulders.

The ammonite ludwigia.
This is the ammonite I travelled to Scotland to collect. After we had spent two days exploring the north side of the bay we discovered its location. The Ludwigia ammonite is best found in a layer of rock that is exposed only to the south of the bay. This is ONLY accessed on a low tide. We got stuck there twice, there is no easy way up the cliff apart from for the experienced climber (Im a willing to try anything person and I couldn't get up the cliffs), the only solution for us was to walk through the water on two occasions.

After walking down the cliffs to the bay, take a right turn and follow the beach around the low cliff. You will be walking on rock here. Go with caution as there were large rocks above you looking like they were going to fall at any time.

The above image shows the area of problem. The tide at this point was about an hour from being completely out. Three hours later, we had to wade through waist deep water here to get back. The red line shows the layer containing ludwigia. You can either try to remove them directly form this layer or take note of the colour and look for them on the beach. Both options will demand a decent hammer. (A sledge hammer hardly made a dent on the rock. We were able to extract some from an area that had been cut by a rock cutter – obviously professional collectors!)

North of the power station fossils.
To the north the beach is bigger than it looks, we walked to a rock fall and found nothing but enormous ammonites that were impossible to remove from big boulders!

Look for this type of rock north of the station, we found it in boulders, all of the soft top layer of the rock contained poorly preserved ammonites. Some examples of this rock can be seen in enormous rocks in the museum.

There were several ammonites in this condition, slightly squashed and absolutely enormous. This one is over a foot across. The associated boulder was almost carry able, but I decided against it!
