A Visit to Arran after 8 Years

Before our visit to Arran we had an appointment at an Awards Evening for Paths for All, Scotland in the Scottish Parliament building. I was on the short leet for a Volunteer of the year award but unfortunately I did not win. There were many deserving winners and it was just a pleasure to be invited. We were joined for the evening by John and Sandria and Martin and Aileen. 
Our hosts John and Sandria who looked after us very well. 
On Friday morning we caught the midday Ferry to Arran for a 2 night stay at Blackwaterfoot.
The very small harbour at Blackwaterfoot
My Friday afternoon walk along the beach at Shishkine

On Saturday morning I did a 3 mile walk along the beach just as it was getting light. It was really beautiful
Our B & B is called Lochside and the owners have turned a field into an artificial loch and gardens and it is a fantastic place with loads of wildlife.  
A stroll round the Loch for Gaye

Lochside B & B which Gaye reckons is the best we have ever stayed in and I wont contradict her
