The Arran Coastal Way is a fascinating 64 mile coastal stretch around one of Scotland’s most famous islands, the locals like to talk of it as miniature. If you like long walks on the beach with your loved one, this could be the perfect destination for you to be, you can also climb up Goat Fell for a spectacular view or visit another natural attraction the Kings Cave.

After enjoying a one hour ferry journey to the Island you can book into an accommodation in Brodick, pre-booked preferably. From there you can travel north – with an option to go over Goat Fell if the weather is good – and then onto Lochranza via Sannox. Do not miss out on the views looking north up Loch Fyne towards the highlands as they are all breathtaking.

Once you are done with that, you can head to the west side to Kilmory via Blackwaterfoot, the stretch opposite Mull of Kintyre is mesmerizing and very romantic. Southern Arran is not as mountainous as the rest of the island. You could then take the Whiting Bay route and head towards Brodick for the night. The entire trip will be one unforgettable experience on one of Scotland’s best islands, an experience that you may want to repeat.
