I'm a retired video production teacher in Canada. Although I've watched 100s of videos on RUclips, yours is the first one I would give a grade of 100%. I knew it would be exceptional in the opening introduction and you didn't disappoint. I did a circle tour of Scotland last year but did not have time to fit Arran in. On my next trip in 2024, I will be starting on Arran. With the information you have provided, plus the contributions of other commentators below, I will have a fantastic beginning to that trip. I look forward to watching other videos that you have produced. THANKS.
Wow, thank you very much for those lovely words! You have absolutely made my day. I feel I simply have no choice now but to get back to editing the dozens of videos I have in the pipeline, and which I'd almost given up on... Anyhow, I hope you enjoy your tour of Arran next year. It's a great island, and I'm sure you'll love it.
@@findingthatperfectspot4692 My comments were well deserved! Question: is one full day driving around the island enough to see the best parts or should I plan for two? Thanks
There are two sandy beaches one at Kildonan and Blackwater foot near the Shiskine Golf Course. You can also do the Kings Cave from Shiskine/Blackwateroot. Seals also at Whiting Bay and Kildonan and Otters along same area as well as Pirnmill.
Thanks for the information! Very useful. I visited the beach at Kildonan, but was too focused on photographing rocks to shoot the sand. Unfortunately, it rained the day I visited Blackwaterfoot. 🙂
Crisp video...lovely photography...you've warmed me to visit Arran, one of the few Islands I never visited. Its certainly beautiful with plenty of historical features. Thanks for posting.
Great video thank you. Couple of points. The islands capital is Lamlash, not Brodick. There are also many pure sandy beaches on Arran. Great video, one of best I have seen. Superb camera work.
Thank you for making my day! I'm so glad you enjoyed my blurry little video. :-) Also, thank you for setting the record straight on Brodick and Lamlash. I'll keep it in mind. As for the sandy beaches, I know there are some nice ones near Blackwaterfoot, but as I mentioned in the video, I didn't get a chance to explore them because of bad weather. I'll be back for them some day!
Did you enjoy it? The cyclists I met who did it told me they enjoyed the circuit but had some difficulty with the hilly road that cuts the island in two. I definitely saw a few cyclists struggle on that road. :-)
A good Tate of Arran, but a pity you didn’t show the sandy beaches as well. The impression you give is that the beaches are all rocky and stony which could be off putting for families withchildren
Unfortunately, it rained cats and dogs the day I was supposed to visit the sandy beaches. I decided not to get my camera wet. :-) Duly noted, though...
Not all of the beachs are rocky or have pebbles. You didn't mention the sand beaches of Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting Bay and a place on the South. Even Blakwaterfoot has a bit of sand. Alos, no mention of a myriad of walks and the Loch up in the hills with a great view. Plus, there are over a hundred species of Birds to see, including Golden Eagles, Perigrine Falcons, Buzzards and Kestrels.
Alas, there was only so much I could see and record in five days, one of which was very rainy... I'm afraid you'll have to upload a video of the sandy beaches, walks in the hills and peregrine falcons yourself. 🙂
The only problem with Arran is if you do not have a car you are stuck in Brodick. visited in June,wanting to show off this gem to American son and Mother in Law . No coaches to tour island was a let down. We did get a bus to the castle,and that was all we could see. 😢
I assume you're referring to Aran knitwear, which is from the Aran Islands in Ireland. This video is about the Isle of Arran in Scotland. Different place altogether.
You’ve captured our island really well. I loved your perfect pronunciation of the place names too! 👏 Your photos and video shots are really well done. Your channel deserves way more subs. You got one from me anyway! Nearly at 💯
@@CamsCampbell A very belated thank-you for your lovely comment, which I only just saw, and which has made my day! I'm glad you enjoyed my video and my pronunciation of the place names. I tried my best on both of them. 🙂I hope to publish more videos soon, and I hope you enjoy those, too!
To my Romanian subscribers: more Romania videos ARE coming up, but I had to get this one out of my system first. :-)

Very helpful video - you give us some excellent pointers for our up coming trip! 👍😊
Thank you! I hope you enjoy your trip. 🙂
I'd love to visit Arran. Some of my ancestors came from there.
Do visit the island! You won't be disappointed. 🙂
Very nice video. I look forward to my visit on the Isle of Arran and other sites in Scotland this summer.
Thank you! I hope you have a great time, and I also hope you have better weather than I did. 🙂
Great video. I've cycled round the Island many times. Stunning place.
Thanks for the kind words! I hope some day to be able to cycle round the island myself. A girl can dream... 🙂
Thank you for a very informative video. Taking my trailer sailor boat and Arran will be one of my stops.😊
Thanks for this lovely Video
Thank you for enjoying it! :-)

Great video, could be next Year's holiday destination 😊
Thank you! I think you'll find Arran is well worth a visit. 🙂
Loved the images of Rosa and Sannox - Been to Arran so many times, but will return.
Thank you! I loved both Rosa and Sannox. I'm glad you enjoyed my take on both places. I hope to see them again some day, as well. :-)

You're welcome! Do visit Arran -- I promise you won't regret it. I can't wait to go back myself! 🙂
Thanks for the tour, it looks like a beautiful island. The walking trail looks amazing, we definitely want to do this some day. Thanks for sharing 🍻
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the tour. I, too, really hope to do the coastal walk some day. Let's see who gets to post the video first! :-)
Thank you. What a wonderful video.
What a lovely compliment! Thank you so much. 🙂
A breathtaking place! I enjoyed my time, was so lovely!
Yes, it's lovely, isn't it? I can't wait to go back some day!
An very well made video. Great travel guide and beautiful photo shots too! Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm still learning and have a long way to go, but I'm really glad you enjoyed this video. :-)
The 'eye roll' moment had me chuckling hard!!! 😅👏🏻
Great video!
I need to go back myself
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad I got a chuckle out of you. Scottish weather is something else, isn't it...?

I just Googled the capital of Arran. It is Brodick.
I cycled round the Ilse of Arran in 2016.
Did you enjoy it? The cyclists I met who did it told me they enjoyed the circuit but had some difficulty with the hilly road that cuts the island in two. I definitely saw a few cyclists struggle on that road. :-)
Very, very beautiful!
How much do I pay for a Inn ?
A beautiful lady ❤. Dobspato Newcastle Upon Tyne England 😘😘😍
There are actually TWO Whisky distilleries on Arran😊
Great! The more, the merrier, right? 🙂
@@findingthatperfectspot4692 one in the north, one in the south 😄
