Isle of Arran
POP 4800
Enchanting Arran is a jewel in Scotland's scenic crown. The island is a visual feast, and
boasts culinary delights, cosy pubs (as well as its own brewery and distillery) and stacks
of accommodation options. The variations in Scotland's dramatic landscape can all be ex-
perienced on this one small island, which is best explored by pulling on the hiking boots
or jumping on a bicycle. Arran offers some challenging walks in the mountainous north,
often compared to the Highlands, while the island's circular road is very popular with cyc-
lists.
