Goodbye Arran! Until next time Scotland 
Goodbye Arran
Isle of Arran – Day 5
As storm Doris passes over the United Kingdom, we seem to have gotten away with it! Apparently the ferries off the Isle this morning/early afternoon were cancelled, but later in the afternoon the sun came out. 
Tomorrow morning looks to be calm so hopefully we will be on our way on time.
Once the rain had passed this morning we drove around the Isle, stopping off occasionally to take a photo. 
Fingers crossed that the weather stops OK for tomorrow morning, as I plan to get up for sunrise to pop out and take a shot. The weather hasn’t been to great so this is the only opportunity I will have to do this!
Isle of Arran – Day 4
Today was forecast to be the best day of our mini break, so today was the day we would try to reach Goatfell Summit. We got up a bit later and had a more relaxed morning, before driving a brief way to park at the start of the walk. 
The weather forecast had remained favourable so we set off optimistically to reach the top.
The first thing to note was that it was very windy. Due to this we didn’t make it all the way to the top. 
The second thing to note was that on our way back down it started hailing pretty much sideways and we got soaked – so we were glad we didn’t go all the way to the top!
We are now both pretty pooped! 
Isle of Arran – Day 3
Today has been a reverse day of yesterday. The weather started out OK and got worse, so we made a run out of the south of the island this morning to find some waterfalls. 
The red squirrel count is still at 0. I seriously have no look!
Isle of Arran – Day 2
After a rather miserable start to the morning, it brightened up around noon. We managed to squeeze in a couple of walks (North Sannox and Glen Sannox) as well as a trip to the distillery. 
A gym session in the morning and two walks has left us a bit pooped.
Overall Arran is exceeding my expectations, which I had set low after Skye and Norway last year. 
Isle of Arran – Day 1
After a long drive we arrived on Arran. The ferry crossing was smooth, but it was really misty/foggy and raining.
