Regarded as the best part of the Arran coastal route, this walk took my up over the hills from Lochranza and then down along the shore to Sannox.
On a clear day there are views towards the Isle of Bute. Not today however.

To the Isle of Arran
Tuesday
A sunny but hazy day for my ferry crossing over to the Isle of Arran.
Arran is the largest island in the Firth of Clyde and the seventh largest Scottish island, at 432 square kilometres (167 sq mi). Though culturally and physically similar to the Hebrides, it is separated from them by the Kintyre peninsula. Often referred to as "Scotland in miniature", the island is divided into highland and lowland areas by the Highland Boundary Fault and has been described as a "geologist's paradise".

Culzean Country Park & Maidenhead Bay
Culzean Country Park & Castle (/kʌˈleɪn/ kul-AYN Scots: Cullain) overlook the Firth of Clyde, near Maybole, Carrick, on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland. It is the former home of the Marquess of Ailsa, the chief of Clan Kennedy.
In 1945, the Kennedy family gave the castle and its grounds to the National Trust for Scotland (thus avoiding inheritance tax). In doing so, they stipulated that the apartment at the top of the castle be given to General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower in recognition of his role as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during the Second World War. The General first visited Culzean Castle in 1946 and stayed there four times, including once while President of the United States.
