Isle of Arran
The Isle of Arran, often referred to as " Scotland in Miniature ", is a small
island that captures many aspects of the variety and beauty of Scotland. It
has mountains and lochs in the north, and rolling hills and meadows in the
south, surrounded by a stunning coastline. It has a distillery, castles, a
brewery, museums, outdoor activities, seven golf courses, high quality local
crafts and locally produced food.Arran's history dates so far back that it becomes tangled up in Celtic myths 
and legends of Scotland's past. From the strange standing stones on Machrie
Moor to the chequered history of Brodick Castle to the very cave where Robert
the Bruce was supposed to have encountered the spider.More than the variety, though, the Isle of Arran offers a chance to relax and shake off the stress of the rat race in beautiful surroundings, enjoying the history, craft and culture of a unique island community.
