Having been to the Isle of Arran a couple of times before (here and then here) we had a couple of weeks holiday and decided to spend one of them returning to our spiritual home. We’ve always been blessed with perfect sunny weather when we’ve visited in the past and this year was no exception. Arran is an island an hour’s ferry ride from the mainland on the west coast of Scotland and is a great place to chill out on sandy beaches, hike up challenging mountains, bike around miles of forest tracks, sit in cafes and enjoy fine dining. When my lottery win comes in we’ll buy a house there in a shot! As usual I took a few photos…

Great photos, John. I’ve added Arran to one of the places I must visit sometime

Yeah, it’s well worth a visit if you’re anywhere near the place. It’s Scotland in miniature!

Oh wow, you just made me miss Scotland so much… I managed a quick day trip to Arran while I was studying abroad in Glasgow, and I would love nothing more than to go back and see more! I also made it to the Isle of Skye – you really can’t go wrong with either one. Just gorgeous. Great pictures, by the way!

Alright mate, been a keen reader for a while now but never published.
A shot of a red squirrel? Great work!
Keep up the blog – I love it.
