Arran Coastal Way Rucksack Readers Guidebook

author: Jacquetta Megarry
The Arran Coastal Way is one of Scotland's Great Trails, and perhaps the finest circular long-distance walk in the country. It runs for 65 miles (105 km) around the Isle of Arran in a memorable week-long hike from Brodick. It is accessible from near Glasgow by the Ardrossan ferry. Famous as `Scotland in miniature', Arran is rich in geology, scenery, castles, caves and standing stones.

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. The book includes background information about geology, pre-history and history whisky-making, wildlife and habitats, plus a boat trip to the Holy Isle.
