Scotland, Isle of Arran

5 DAYS • THURSDAY JUNE 15TH – 19TH

Staying at the 3* Kinloch Hotel, Blackwaterfoot

The Isle of Arran, known as Scotland in miniature, has a beautiful coastline with pretty villages and is complimented by rugged mountains to the North and green rolling hills to the South.
Blackwaterfoot, our base, overlooks Drumadoon Bay which attracts many visitors due to the large number of seals that can usually be seen from the promenade.
