Arran Coastal Way (3 ed) Paperback / softback

The Arran Coastal Way is perhaps Scotland's finest circular long-distance trail, running 65 miles (105 km) around the Isle of Arran in a memorable week-long hike from Brodick.

It's accessible from near Glasgow by the Ardrossan ferry.

Famous as`Scotland in miniature', Arran is rich in 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.

Both text and photos have been thoroughly updated after route changes and extra options created by the Coastal Communities Fund project.

This third edition has mapping at 1:55,000 and 125 colour photos.

Its predecessor was Highly Commended by the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild in 2018.
