Isle of Arran
The Isle of Arran is where you can find everything you want from a Scottish island. The ever-changing coastline, majestic mountain peaks, sheltered beaches, verdant forests, great cultural festivals, and a wealth of delicious local produce. A stay in Arran comes in many flavors - taste it your way as you sample cream cheeses, draft beer, traditional oatcakes, mouthwatering chocolates, and delicious ice cream. Book a tour at the Arran Distillery to uncover the secrets behind the distillation before sampling a dram of malt whiskey or Arran Gold cream liqueur.
A short break on the Arran is perfect year-round and is a great spot to escape the hectic city life. Don't forget to bring your binoculars - red squirrels, deer, golden eagles, otters, seals, basking sharks, and many other unusual species can be seen all over the island and on the coastline. Try some thrilling outdoor adventures, or why not scale up Goatfell, the largest mountain on Arran? It was a Corbett, located 2,866 ft above sea level.
Famous for its miles of coastal paths, numerous hills, and rugged mountain ranges, the Isle of Arran is the perfect getaway for hiking enthusiasts. Sometimes referred to as "Scotland in miniature," it is worth a future visit.
