The Isle of Arran is the most southerly and most accessible of all the Scottish Islands. Due to the Highland-Lowland dividing line that passes through the centre of the isle, the two halves are distinctly different with the south being flat and lush whilst the North half being sparsely populated and mountainous – hence being known as being like Scotland in miniature!

There are many beautiful things to see and do, we have picked out some highlights. Leaving from Glasgow we travel to Ardrossan. From here we will get the ferry from Ardrossan to Arran.

We will have a guided tour of the world famous Arran Distillery and our own private whisky masterclass. The afternoon will be spent at Lochranza on the beach or walking and looking at the castle. Dinner will be provided at the accommodation. The night time entertainment will be a relaxed bonfire on the beach.

Sunday will start with a trip to the ancient standing stones on Machrie Moor (above), followed by a walk along the beach to the mysterious Kings Cave. We will then return on the ferry with a final stop at Europe’s largest wind park, the 539MW Whitelee Windfarm.
