Isle of Arran
We caught the ferry across the water to visit the Isle of Arran. We could see it across the water most days from the house but it was in the habit of hiding behind clouds when it was misty/rainy.
There is a road around the island and one that crosses the middle and that is about it. Many different villages around the track and some beautiful things to see.
The first is a Scottish castle- Lochranza. The Scottish castles were basically stone square towers. Doors and windows were all pretty high to discourage unwanted visitors. In later years (after construction) new owners would add on if they wanted or had the means.
We hiked to Glenashdale Falls through beautiful forests with ferns and heather and mosses--looked like a great place for fairies! The falls were very tall and the hike was worth it though there was quite an incline to the too and around.
There are many stone circles. At Machrie Moor there are the remains of circles and a lovely walk across pastures at a working sheep farm.
