Arran Coastal Way

The Arran Coastal Way is perhaps Scotland's finest circular long-distance trail, running 65 miles (105km) around the Isle of Arran in a memorable week-long hike from Brodick. It's accessible from near Glasgow by the Ardrossan ferry. Famous as 'Scotland in miniature', Arran is rich in geology, scenery, castles and caves.

The walking is varied, from mountain paths to deserted beaches, from minor road-walking to boulder-hopping, and in places it is refreshingly rugged. Arran's wildlife is uniquely approachable, and its residents welcoming. This essential trail guide contains all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday.
