Arran: 40 Hill, Glen and Coastal Walks: Pocket Mountains

The Isle of Arran, the largest island in the Firth of Clyde and often called “Scotland in miniature,” lies between the Ayrshire and the Kintyre Peninsula. Divided by the Highland Boundary Fault, its mountainous north contrasts with the moorland and farmland south. This guidebook presents 40 routes, from coastal strolls to mountain ridge traverses. Lying between the Ayrshire coast and the Kintyre Peninsula, the Isle of Arran is the largest island in the Firth of Clyde and the seventh largest Scottish island. Often referred to as 'Scotland in miniature', it is divided geographically and geologically by the Highland Boundary fault, with the north of the island mountainous with ridges to rival anything in the Highlands, while rolling moorland, forestry and farmland predominate in the south. This guidebook brings together 40 of the island's best routes from strolls along Arran's southern shores and visits to waterfalls, lochs and ancient monuments to day-long mountain ridge traverses and rugged coastal walks.
