Cock of Arran

Clients sometimes ask me, “what is your favourite walk to lead on Arran”. This one is certainly a contenender.

A guided walk around the cock of Arran, a coastline steeped in history and geology, plus teeming with wildlife.

A quiet dawn

Lucy spent a solstice night at Millstone Point. Read her reflections on the proposed Salmon Farm in this wild place, home to otters, seals and protected seabirds…and a note of cautious optimism for the future.

Nuis

I think it’s fair to say that 2020 has been the year that everything changed. We’ve had a tricky year, but it has not been all bad. At Arran Wild Walks, there have been some lovely changes for the better alongside all the difficulties, and one of these was the arrival of Nuis, a ten month old rescued border collie, with a big heart.

Mountain in the Spotlight: Beinn Tarsuinn

Beinn Tarsuinn…. Transverse Hill… or as I like to call it, the “Hill in the Middle”. Beinn Tarsuinn is well named. It squats like a bulky tricorn hat in the centre of the popular Three Beinns horseshoe, between Beinn Nuis and Beinn a’ Chliabhain.

Mountain in the Spotlight: Beinn Nuis

If you gaze up at the Arran mountains from the ferry terminal at Brodick, the left edge of the range is bookended by a pyramid of near vertical rock. Often overlooked, this shapely peak is full of surprises and deserves a closer look.
