Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Brodick and OvernightArrive in Brodick and check in to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to explore the nearby sights.

Dunvegan House is situated within the picturesque village of Brodick on Arran. It is a traditional sandstone building that has been tastefully renovated and decorated throughout to create a spacious four star licensed guest house that offers superb accommodation. The house has nine rooms, eight of which are fully en-suite and the ninth having private facilities and all are beautifully furnished and decorated to the highest standard and include colour TV, Radio/alarm clock and hospitality tray.

Belvedere is a three-star, privately-run guest house. It is appropriately named, enjoying a picture postcard view across Brodick Bay towards Goat Fell, the tallest mountain on the Isle of Arran. Accommodation is comfortable, yet informal. All rooms have H&C or en suite amenities, electric blankets, tea/coffee making facilities, hair dryers, TV, radio and free Wi-Fi internet access.
Hunters Guest House provides a warm and friendly establishment. It is located on The Shore in Brodick.
On the first stage of the Arran Coastal Way there are two options; a low/coastal route and a high route which takes in Goatfell - the island's highest peak (874 m). The low route option follows the coastal road north out of town, while the inland route heads up the slopes of Goatfell.
If you are feeling energetic, we recommend the inland route as the views from the summit of Goatfell are superb in clear weather. Just remember not to underestimate the climb - you are beginning almost from sea level! From the summit it's a gentle descent largely through trees to reach the village of Corrie where the routes rejoin, and you'll follow the quiet coast road for a few kilometres into Sannox village.
The low route avoids the long ascent up Goatfell, Arran's highest hill, a good option if the weather isn't favourable or if you'd prefer an easier day to begin the walk. The low route passes a sandy beach at the north end of Brodick Bay, skirts Brodick castle, before following forest tracks to reach the village of Corrie. The final section of the trail follows a quiet coastal road to Sannox.
Leaving Sannox, the route follows a remote section of Arran's coast, with views across the water to the Isle of Bute. After passing Fallen Rocks and the abandonded white cottage at Laggan the route becomes rocky and boggy in places. Finally, leading to an easier section of path and road as you approach Lochranza with views across the water to the castle.
Because of lack of accommodation in Lochranza, there is the possibility that you will overnight in Sannox. An included transfer will bring you from Lochranza after your walk to Sannox.

Situated in the mountainous north of the island, Butt House has plenty of secure equipment storage. There is a spacious lounge for guests to use with an open fire.

The Lochranza Hotel stands amidst this timeless village and has a spectacular panoramic view across the bay. The hotel is traditionally decorated throughout and has a high level of service. The bar food uses the best of fresh local produce served in the style of traditional home cooked meals, and there is a great selection of malt whiskies, real ale, spirits and wine.

Corrie Hotel is situated in the beautiful village of Corrie, six miles from the ferry Terminal in Brodick, making it an ideal walking or cycling break away. Anne and Danny took over in 2014 and made sure to retain the Hotel's warm friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Corrie hotel now boasts a tastefully refurbished lounge bar and dining area and a popular public bar.
There is a wonderful beer Garden right on the doorstep of the shoreline with fantastic views across the Ayrshire coast where you can enjoy a pint and a bar meal. Most of our rooms have stunning sea views from which you can sometimes see Seals basking on the rocks and Otters playing on the shoreline. There is free Wi-Fi and a hearty breakfast is served each morning.
Please note there are no TVs in the rooms at this hotel.
Leaving Lochranza, you pick up the old postie's footpath as it weaves through birchwood’s high above the coastal road. After dropping down to the hamlet of Catacol, follow a quiet coastal road with impressive views of the Kintyre Peninsula, the roads are very quiet. Look out for the lighthouse in Pirnmill (closed Mondays) serving great food and coffee. You have the option of finishing your day in Imachar or Machrie, using the reliable local bus service to reach your base for the night, Blackwaterfoot.

Right on the Coast Path a warm welcome awaits you at the Kinloch Hotel. The hotel boasts 37 bedrooms, Every room has a flat screen satellite television, tea/coffee making facilities, wifi and en-suite bathroom.

The Greannan is situated in an elevated position with panoramic views over the village of Blackwaterfoot and the Shiskine Valley. Their rooms are freshly decorated and have all the amenities required for a relaxing overnight stay.

Laighbent B&B is modern, spacious and very comfortable and you assured the warmest of welcomes from the owner, Pat. The rooms have all one would require for a most comfortable stay, including TV, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer and a very restful beds.
For this section of the route you can either take the bus back to Machrie and walk to Lagg from there, or walk directly to Lagg. If your legs are up to it, we would recommend walking from Machrie, as this section passes the King's Cave and is a real highlight!
If you are walking from Machrie you will walk a section laden with history spanning a rather long period of time on your way to Blackwaterfoot. Firstly you can take a short detour for ~3.5 km from Machrie up to see the standing tones on Machrie Moor, a very worthwhile diversion. When back on the route the next era of history is a little more modern with the spectacular Kings Cave where Robert the Bruce is reported to have stayed on his journey to Ireland. You are then thrown back in time with Triassic dinosaur footprints and 60 million-year-old cliffs before coming to 2000 year old Doon Fort and then walking down into Blackwaterfoot.
The section between Blackwaterfoot and Lagg has some of the most difficult terrain on the whole trip and should be walked with care. The trail follows the shore to pass Preaching Cave over rocky and boggy ground before climbing up to the road and from here on it's undulating tarmac road walking with good views to Ailsa Craig, then pass the Lagg Distillery before arriving at the Lagg Hotel, one of the oldest on the island.
The Lagg Hotel has very limited availability. If we are unable to reserve a room, you will be booked into accoommodation in Blackwaterfoot with transfers included.

Situated in a unique hollow on the southern tip of the island, Lagg has never been short of admirers, due to its picturesque setting and extensive gardens. The gardens have also enjoyed much use over the years, from tennis matches on the front lawn to the famous setting for afternoon tea during the 1950s. The bedrooms are elegant yet cozy and are tastefully furnished. All rooms are en-suite and have great views overlooking the garden. For your evening meal you can either dine in their restaurant or you can enjoy a pub dinner in the bar. All their dishes are prepared using fresh local ingredients sourced from local suppliers.

Right on the Coast Path a warm welcome awaits you at the Kinloch Hotel. The hotel boasts 37 bedrooms, Every room has a flat screen satellite television, tea/coffee making facilities, wifi and en-suite bathroom.

Laighbent B&B is modern, spacious and very comfortable and you assured the warmest of welcomes from the owner, Pat. The rooms have all one would require for a most comfortable stay, including TV, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer and a very restful beds.
If you stayed overnight in Blackwaterfoot, a transfer will bring you back to Lagg to begin your walk. This section of the Arran Coastal Way is rather challenging, as you cross several boulder fields and in the summer months the path can become overgrown. You can choose between the more challenging low route option or a slightly longer, but easier high route option.
The low route option is one of the most challenging on the Arran Coastal Way. It involves tricky scrambling over boulders to round the headlands of both Bennan Head and Dippen Head - do not underestimate the time these sections take to complete. Bennan Head is not passable at high tide and even Dippen Head can become tricky at this time so make sure you check the tide times before setting off. Either or both of headlands can be avoided by taking the alternative inland route before you reach Bennan Head.
For those wishing to avoid the difficulties of tide times and the boulder fields there is a high route alternative. This variation on the route is longer and more undulating than the lower route and heads inland on reaching Bennan Head. The final part of the route goes through forest and descends passing Glenashdale Falls on it's way into Whiting Bay.

This house dates back from the Edwardian era, when the wealthy from Glasgow built summer villas along the west coast of Scotland and Arran. It stands in a prominent sea front position as one of a small number of similar dated properties. All rooms are spacious and en-suite and you will be guaranteed a great overnight stay. They also have a private residents lounge and spacious dining room with offer great sea views.

Following renovation and refurbishment, The Arran Brewery Guest House is now open to welcome you to Arran. It is situated in Whiting Bay, one of the most beautiful locations on Arran, with fine views of Holy Isle and the Ayrshire coast across the Firth of Clyde. All rooms are en-suite with complimentary Arran Aromatics toiletries and all rooms have sea views.

On this final stage on the Arran Coastal Way between Whiting Bay and Brodick you can choose to hug the coast following the low route or take the higher route.
The high route takes you up passed Glenashadale Falls and through shady forest on higher ground with great views towards Lamlash where you join the lower route to follow shoreline around Clauchlands Point to reach Brodick and the end of the Way.
The low route keeps to the coastline as much as possible and follows paths and quiet country roads. You will pass Kingscross Point and it's viking burial ground with views over to Holy Isle. You follow the coastal boardwalks to Lamlash Bay with it's "No Take Zone" marine conservation area. On rounding Clauchlands Point you'll soon see Goatfell, Arran's highest hill, rearing it's head as you walk towards the end point of the trail in Brodick.
See below for option to upgrade to Auchrannie Resort and Spa for final night.

Dunvegan House is situated within the picturesque village of Brodick on Arran. It is a traditional sandstone building that has been tastefully renovated and decorated throughout to create a spacious four star licensed guest house that offers superb accommodation. The house has nine rooms, eight of which are fully en-suite and the ninth having private facilities and all are beautifully furnished and decorated to the highest standard and include colour TV, Radio/alarm clock and hospitality tray.

End the Arran Coastal Way in style and upgrade to Auchrannie Resort & Spa. Located within quiet woodland, a 10 minute walk from Brodick, the resort features two indoor pools and a whole range of spa treatments available to guests. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, always with a traditional Scottish touch. Guests can pick from three restaurants and bars on site. The most relaxing way to finish a walking holiday! An additional supplement will be added to booking at confirmation stage if choosing to stay here.

Belvedere is a three-star, privately-run guest house. It is appropriately named, enjoying a picture postcard view across Brodick Bay towards Goat Fell, the tallest mountain on the Isle of Arran. Accommodation is comfortable, yet informal. All rooms have H&C or en suite amenities, electric blankets, tea/coffee making facilities, hair dryers, TV, radio and free Wi-Fi internet access.
After breakfast your walking holiday will come to an end. See the Travel Info section for some useful details for your onward travel.
Other Information
Is it for me?Arran is a beautiful island that has an abundance of wildlife, amazing views and friendly locals who are always up for a chat. You wouldn't think an Island which is so accessible (Only 2 hours from the centre of Glasgow) could give that feeling of remoteness which so many walkers crave, but Arran proves this is possible. If you want to experience a wilder side of Scotland and would rather share the trail with wildlife rather than people, walking the Arran Coastal Way will give you an unforgettable experience. To fully appreciate the Way, it is recommended you are a regular walker who likes to challenge themselves. Although there isn’t a huge amount of ascent/descent on the coastal way, bar the Goat Fell walk, the terrain throughout is very rugged and rough underfoot.
Classic Routes | If you’re the active, outdoorsy type, who’s interested in taking on the great routes of the world or looking for a challenge, then our Classic Routes are for you. We’re talking the West Highland Way, Tour Du Mont Blanc and the Passau to Vienna Danube Cycle Path, to name but a few!
Inn to Inn Walking | Walk from place-to-place changing accommodations each night. Generally staying in B&B’s, inns, and guesthouses.
Solo Travellers
As a guide, we would suggest that the minimum age of traveller this holiday would be suitable for is: 15 Years
This walk is graded between moderate and moderate to strenuous, depending on the itinerary you choose. Our most popular and we believe our best itineary is 8 days and 7 nights, which is graded at the upper end of moderate.
On all itineraries, you will follow the coast along forest footpaths, hillside tracks, tarmac roads with grass verges, and beaches with boulders, sand and shingle. In general, most of the walking is rough underfoot when not on roads and can also become slippery after recent rainfall, so you do need to be comfortable with this kind of terrain. Some of the ascents and descents are steep and can be exposed so a good head for heights is required and sure-footedness in places. Depending on how long you choose to spend walking the Arran Coastal Way, daily walks can be up to 31 km / 19 miles. Due to the difficult terrain (mountains and high ground descending to a rocky shoreline and the sea), it is necessary for some of the route to follow roads, particularly on the west coast from Lochranza down to Tormore. However, these roads are usually quiet and the views out over the coastline are spectacular. The stretch of road between Brodick and Lochranza is slightly busier with tourist traffic so please observe the instructions on the Macs Adventure app.
We take great pride in carefully selecting the accommodations we use on the Arran Coastal Way to ensure you enjoy every minute of your stay. We work with B&B's, Guest Houses, country hotels and charming inns which are normally of 3 or 4 star standard with en-suite bathrooms. All accommodations offer a warm welcome to walkers, traditional hospitality and delicious local food. We do recommend that you book this trip early as the area is always popular and the hotels and inns do fill up early, especially in high season.
Solo Walkers & Single Rooms
This trip is available to solo walkers, although a single supplement is payable.
If you require single rooms within your party we would be happy to accommodate your request, although it is not generally possible to secure more than three single rooms in a party and a single supplement is payable.
Meals
A hearty breakfast is included each morning. Most accommodations offer a continental and full cooked breakfast, which should keep you going for hours.
Lunch and dinner are not included so you are free to choose from the available options. Your accommodation will be more than happy to provide a packed lunch on request and this can be booked on arrival. Alternatively, your guidebook also includes details of local shops and convenient lunch stops on the way. Dinner is available either at your accommodation or in nearby pubs and restaurants.
**Please note that there are limited places to eat dinner at the locations you will be staying in on the Isle of Arran. We therefore recommend that you make dinner reservations as soon as your booking is confirmed.**Additional Nights

Getting to/from Brodick on the Isle of Arran
Arran is easily accessible from Glasgow, which is one of the reasons it is so popular. From Glasgow catch the train and then ferry to reach Arran within a few hours.
By Air:
Glasgow is served by two international airports. Prestwick airport is the most convenient for Arran and is only a 30 minute taxi journey to the ferry terminal at Ardrossan (or you can take a train, changing at Kilwinning; total journey approx. 45 mins). Glasgow airport is 8 miles west of the city centre and train timetables are designed to connect to the ferry which departs from Adrossan to Broderick (train is 45 mins, ferry approx. 55 mins) or you can take a taxi which is approximately one hour from Glasgow to Ardrossan.
By Road:
Ardrossan is one hour south-east of Glasgow and there is a large secure car park at the harbour, where you can leave your car during your time on Arran (fee payable).
By Rail:
There are regular services from Glasgow Central Station to Ardrossan which connect with the ferry to Arran.
Should you be arriving into Prestwick airport you can take the train from the airport and change at Kilwinning to get to Ardrossan.
Further information will be detailed in your information pack, or you can visit www.travelinescotland.com for journey planning.
Ferry:
The Ferry which runs between Ardrossan and Brodick is operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and you will find a ferry timetable on the Calmac website.
Daily door to door baggage transfer of one 15kg bag per person is included in the price of your trip.
At Macs Adventure, we work in partnership with many luggage transfer providers who set a limit on how many bags/suitcases they will transfer per person, and also the weight of the bag/suitcase. Your booking includes transfer of 1 bag per person. It is very important that you read the luggage information specific to your tour before departure. If you do not adhere to these limits, there is a great possibility that you will be charged locally both for extra bags or if they are too heavy. This limitation can be a challenge, especially as airlines generally have limits that are higher. However, our luggage providers have reasons for these limits (usually due to the Health and Safety of their employees), which we must respect.
Please note that because of a lack of accommodation on the island, especially at busier times in the season, you may be booked into Corrie/ Lochranza for two nights rather than a night in each location. Also, we only have one accommodation in Lagg, with limited opening times and availability. When it is not possible to reserve a room here you will be booked into Blackwaterfoot. All transfers will be provided and are included in the cost.
It is essential to make use of the excellent local bus service on Arran to complete the full walk. Although extensive and reliable, some services only run a few times a day. It is very important you have access to up-to-date timetables to plan your walking day, more information will be supplied in your Information Pack provided at the time of booking.You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc.
It is a requirement of booking this tour with Macs Adventure that you have suitable travel insurance which covers you for the activity, emergency evacuation and hospital care.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets.
Local buses run round the island regularly and you can use these to skip a stage if you wish.
We offer a number of different itineraries so you can choose your preferred daily distance and hopefully you will find an itinerary that suits your level of fitness. If you currently dont enjoy an active lifestyle we suggest regular walking in hilly terrain supplemented by cardio vascular exercise for at least 6 months prior to their walk. A good gym or personal trainer will be able to draw up a personalised training programme.
We suggest you book as soon as you know your plans The Isle of Arran is extremely popular especially over bank holidays and from May - August.
You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc.
Traditionally April/May has always been the most popular time of year because the theory goes that the weather is better. Although I believe any time between late March and October offers a wonderful experience.
