WALK THE COAST

1 ARRAN: SCOTLAND IN MINIATURE

lessed with dramatic mountain peaks, gorgeous beaches and a wealth of cultural treasures, Arran is often referred to as ‘Scotland in miniature’ and it isn’t too hard to see why. Highlights of this Wilderness Scotland guided walking short break include: a visit to King’s Cave, where Robert the Bruce is said to have encountered the spider; a remote route over the Saddle with dramatic mountains and tumbling waterfalls where there is a chance to see red deer; a trip to Holy Isle with its spiritual heritage dating back to the 6th century; and climbing Goatfell, Arran’s highest point, before afternoon tea at Brodick Castle. A heavenly hike
