Isle of Arran, an Erasmus trip in a little heaven

Hey guys,

Today I am going to speak about one of my last trips. Two weeks ago I went with some friends at the Isle of Arran, located a few kilometres away from Glasgow, in order to discover this island.

For peoples who don’t know this little isle, Arran is located in the gulf of the Clyde, in the region of Glasgow. This one is often nicknamed little Scotland. Indeed, on this “little” rock you can discover a hallucinating wealth of landscapes. It’s a mass of the different landscapes that we can find through Scotland.

On this isle, the main activity remains the hike because the island has several paths allowing to discover different landscapes. However, the main tourist attraction remains the Goat Fell. The Goat Fell is a mountain looming at 874m, whom numerous individuals enjoy every year to climb. During my trip, I have had the luck to climb this mountain and I can tell you that up there the panorama is breathtakingly. Several hours of climb are necessary before to arrive at the summit.
If you are a little bit lucky, some seals approach the coasts from time of time. ;)

How go to the Isle of Arran?

To go there, the simplest way is to take a train from Glasgow Cental to Ardrossan. Over there, take the ferry of the company Caledonian Isle towards Brodick. Arrive in Brodick, you just need to go to the tourist office in order to have some tips and after to discover the island with paths.

A small advice: if you wish to save money, take a return trip ticket Glasgow Central – Brodick, this one will be valid for the train and the ferry. This advice will allow you to save at least 5£. J


I put some pictures below so as to make you want to go on this awesome isle.

Enjoy the pictures!! J
