- Size: The most notable feature of the Ailsa Craig is its size, often grown for exhibition in competitions due to its ability to form huge, globe-shaped bulbs, some reaching 1-2 pounds.
- Appearance: It has a light golden or straw-colored, thin skin and white, firm flesh.
- Flavour: The flesh is mild, sweet, and fine-textured with a relatively low sulfur content, making it excellent for fresh use in salads, sandwiches, and on burgers.
- Growing Type: It is a "long-day" onion, meaning it requires 14-16 hours of daylight to trigger bulbing, making it best suited for planting in northern to mid-northern latitudes (generally north of 38° latitude).
- Origin: The variety was introduced in 1887 by David Murray, a gardener for the Marquis of Ailsa at Culzean Castle in Scotland.
