The most southerly Scottish island sits in the Firth of Clyde between Ayrshire and Kintyre. Often referred to as Scotland in Miniature, the Isle of Arran within a short compass captures many aspects of the beauty of Scotland as a whole, from towering granite peaks inviting hill walkers and climbers to peaceful sandy bays overlooked by palm trees growing in the warm climate of The Gulf Stream. The Isle of Arran Heritage Museum is a great day out, founded in 1976 (and opened to the public in 1979) is on the main road, at Rosaburn, just north of Brodick. If its adventure your looking for, look no further as Arran Adventure has it all including powerboating, bike hire, archery and many more.
