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 a frequent 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.
