April 15, 2022 Yuk Petri

Packed to the gills with antique silver, porcelain and furniture, the red sandstone Brodick Castle is one of the highlights of the Isle of Arran. The castle overlooks Goatfell, a majestic hill that’s a popular day hike. The Machrie Moor stone circles make for a mystical field trip, as does a tour of The Arran Malt whisky distillery.

Had a family visit as I have recently started work as a tour guide in a distillery and wanted to learn some tips! Billy was great, very informative, inclusive and funny. Loved the touches of a driver's dram, a Spey dram glass and the opportunity to try the single malt and the cream liqueur. Highly recommended. Restaurant is great too. My daughter felt too ill to attend the tour so opted to stay in the restaurant with her drink and was made to feel very welcome.

Well worth a short stop if you are travelling round the Island. Park on the road by the sea. A beautiful spot looking out to the Kintyre peninsula. It’s a short uphill walk along a farm track to the stones bit is signposted. A fabulous view from the stones and very atmospheric

King's Caves

Reviewed By jestersluck - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

For a mostly easy terrain ramble this is hard to beat. Gentle walk up through the woods, to the left/ clockwise is best, you emerge onto top of the slope overlooking the sea. Walk down to the pebble beach to get to the caves. The last part down is narrow and can be muddy, boots are definitely best. The main cave is well signposted. To complete the circuit leave Bruce's cave going to the right, so water is on your left. Small cave with 50+ cairns from tourists is about 100m along. At the very end of the beach, the path is up on the right. A little steep to start, then through a steel gate and return to a more even surface. The walk back has lovely views of the bay and hills and a couple of benches at strategic view points. Overall walk was closer to 4 miles with the caves meandering.

Kildonan Museum

Reviewed By bonnecavesman - Canmore, Canada

This facility features geological, archeological, ecological, cultural, genealogical artifacts & resources. From the welcoming & well-informed reception staff to the affiliated cafe providers our experience was a delightful orientation to things Hebridean. Self-Guided interpretative exhibits are detailed, visually rewarding & in some cases available to tactile enjoyment. Admission prices are extremely reasonable given the quality of the available experiences/details. The cafe is bright, cheery & comfortable. Highly recommended. Be sure to enjoy the S.S.Politician, Angus MacPhee, tweed weaving & marriage stone exhibits. "Kildonan Kate" awaits your visit.
