The Arran Coastal Way is 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.
A project funded by the Coastal Communities Fund created many miles of
new and improved path with fresh waymarking, leading to this fully
revised second edition. Based on three research trips in 2017, the text
and photographs were thoroughly updated to cover the many route
changes and extra options.
This guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy your Arran Coastal Way walk, including a Foreword by wilderness walker Cameron McNeish.
