Arran is often described as 'Scotland in miniature' and is a walkers' paradise, with routes ranging from gentle strolls to challenging mountaineering expeditions. One of the best ways to enjoy exploring this island and the abundance of natural produce available is on the Arran Coastal Walk.

The Ayrshire Coastal Path from Glenapp to Skelmorlie runs 100 miles along one of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles. Crowned with a superb backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife.

This long distance route, in the heart of the Scottish Borders, is a circular walk which is packed full of the rich and turbulent history of this part of Scotland. Stop off at four notable abbeys, a Roman Fort and much more besides.

Take in a stunnng panorma of mountains, hills, ridges, lochs, burns and waterfalls in the heart of the Galloway Forest Park, with this walk. There's even a pinch of history thrown in for good measure!
