A pleasant three-day walk around the northern half of the Isle of Arran's beautiful coastline.
From £410 per person
Setting off from the trail's starting point in Brodick, this short walking holiday follows a mixture of forest tracks, footpaths and coastal tracks on its way to Machrie Moor, taking in far-reaching views along the way. Finally, you will be transferred back to Brodick for your final night's stay and an easy return home.
The walk enjoys sandy beaches and plenty of chances to spot coastal wildlife such as seals, dolphins and basking sharks. The various settlements along the way are also very charming and steeped in history, and there are plenty of impressive landmarks to admire, including rugged rock formations, mysterious caves and castle ruins.
This holiday option is ideal for walkers in need of a quick getaway to explore this beautiful, lesser-known Scottish island.
Visiting the Isle of Arran Heritage Museum and learning all about the history, people, culture and geology of the island.
Exploring Lochranza and its ancient castle, as well as spotting seals from the shore and visiting the Arran whiskey distillery.
Completing the walk in Machrie Moor and visiting the famous standing stones nearby.
