The Isle of Arran rises from the Firth of Clyde between Ayrshire and Kintyre. Its mountainous form dominates the open waters of the Clyde and its jagged peaks present a challenge to walkers. The Isle of Arran has much to offer the visitor and is often described as "Scotland in miniature". Roads are very few, but opportunities to explore the island on foot are many and varied. This guidebook offers a selection of 40 one-day walks all over the island, from gentle strolls along the glens to tough ridge walks.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'It is an excellent guide, really detailed, which is what you need on the rocky terrain of Arran. It will attract people to visit Arran for a longer period to tackle not just the great ridges of the NE corner but the many easier walks to be found in the rest of the Island. Irish Mountain Log Magazine, Summer 2006
