The Isle of Arran is 'Scotland in miniature' Rugged in the North...rolling hills in the south...Walk 'The comb' arete and over Glen Sannox for stunning scenery. high corries, and views which on a clear day areamazing to the uninitiated. You can ferry from Ardrossan to Brodick in the south east then off again Lochranza to Claonaig and onto the Mull of Kintyre in the North West. I would allow a couple of days at least in Arran...I still recall looking down the slope of Bheinn Bharrain at a Golden Eagle flying up toward me on a Thermal I guess we may have been 20 feet apart and he fancied a nosey at the interloper in his domain....Eagles don't eat BIG MACs thankfully!
