Arran Coastal Way

• Immerse yourself in island life on Arran - 'Scotland in miniature'
• Spot basking seals and perhaps glimpse a majestic golden eagle
• Leave crowded trails behind and experience a more remote, wild Scotland
• Enjoy panoramic views on the high route option from the summit of Goat Fell, Arran's highest mountain
• Discover the historic cave paintings in King's Cave
• Stop off at Lochranza Distillery - why not take a tour and have a wee dram?

The Arran Coastal Way encircles one of Scotland’s most famous islands, often described as Scotland in miniature. A wonderfully varied route: beautiful beaches, the option to climb Goat Fell for views across to the mainland, and the ancient cave paintings of King's Cave, where Robert the Bruce is said to have watched a spider build its web and found the resolve to fight on.

With our HQ just across the water in Glasgow, we know Arran well.  We've hand-picked accommodation in places like Lochranza and Lagg, where the evenings are as good as the days on the trail.

This is coastal walking away from the crowds — rugged in places, rewarding throughout. And if you'd rather take it at a slower pace, our longer itinerary gives you more time for distillery visits, fresh seafood, and chatting to locals along the way.
