Ayrshire

The Isle of Arran is a popular destination and can be reached by ferry from the town of Ardrossan. The island provides the opportunity for hiking through the glacial valley of Glen Rosa and the climbing of Goat Fell, the highest peak on the island. Arran has successfully been marketed as 'Scotland in Miniature' due to the quaint nature of its settlements.
