This guidebook describes 44 walks on the popular and accessible
Isle of Arran. The routes are between 3 and 19 miles (5-31km) in
length, ranging in difficulty from easy, waymarked forest trails to
more arduous mountain walks, exposed ridge routes and scrambles.
The book includes both linear and circular walks, and there are
opportunities to link routes together and create longer walks
across the length and breadth of the island. Also included is a
summary of the 110km Arran Coastal Way. Highlights include
Goatfell, Beinn Nuis, Beinn Tarsuinn, the Sannox Horseshoe, Glen
Rosa, the Cock of Arran and nearby Holy Isle. All the routes are
clearly described and illustrated with OS 1:50,000 mapping, with
extra notes revealing the archaeology, history and natural wonders
of the island. The guide includes background information on travel
to Arran, public transport, and a Gaelic/English glossary. There's
something here to suit walkers of all fitness levels and abilities.
Often described as 'Scotland in miniature', Arran boasts a rich
variety of landscapes, with mountains, coast, moorland and forest,
and the walks have been chosen to showcase this diversity. For an
island, travel to and from Arran is remarkably easy: it is not far
from Glasgow, from where onward connections are swift and frequent.
