Isle of Arran Coastal Way

Walking vacations and hiking tours around the Isle of Arran in Scotland with The Walking Holiday Company

Walking tours on the Isle of Arran offer an opportunity to discover the wild beauty of Scotland’s most southerly inhabited island. 

To reach the Isle of Arran you will need to take a 13 mile ferry trip across the Firth of Clyde from Ardrossen.

Typical of island life, once ashore, you will feel like you have stepped back into an older and more peaceful time.  Arran is the classic destination for field geology students who come here from all over the world to study the rich variety of rock formation, which is unrivalled in the British Isles.   Mild winter temperatures allow palm trees and sub-tropical plants to flourish.

As a walker you will appreciate the different colours, shapes and formations in the rocks you see on the Isle of Arran.

Machrie Moor on the Isle of Arran contains one of the finest range of ancient monuments in Scotland, six Bronze Age stone circles about 3800 – 4000 years old.  Arran’s mild climate and mixed landscape makes it home to a huge variety of animals and plants, and the island is recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

You will hike on roads and rocks, and although the ‘boulder hopping’ is challenging it is worth it to have the chance to see seals, dolphins, porpoise, sea otters and if you are really lucky the large black fin of the basking shark.

The Isle of Arran Path is a circular hiking route, with itineraries for 6 or 7 days.
