Part of one of the stone circles in the rich prehistoric landscape of Machrie Moor on the west side of the Isle of Arran. One of the most important prehistoric sites in Scotland, people have been leaving their mark here for 6,000 years. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arr

Took this pic a couple of years ago and just came across it again. Behold the 'sleeping warrior ' or the as it's more commonly known... 😏

Distant views of Ailsa Craig on our walk this morning. I was on the shore with a lovely group from California and the UK. The Californians brought good otter mojo (they have special, true "Sea Otters" there*), and there were otters everywhere we looked today! 🦦🦦🦦🦦🦦
*Our otters are not sea otters, they evolved in fresh water but have adapted to life on the coasts. They need access to fresh water to wash their fur and spend most of their time on dry land...

Eleven trains, two buses, two ferries, three hotels, and a bell tent booked… Looking forward to my next trip to Scotland!

More than meets the eye? The very enigmatic Kilpatrick Dun, on high ground south of Blackwaterfoot near the Isle of Arran's west coast. What you see are the remains of a fortified farmstead that was built here some 1,800 years ago. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arr

Been a while since I went cycle touring. Some things never change: farm tracks are rarely navigable on a fully laden road bike; you can always forget to bring the right charging cables with you. View of Arran and Holy Isle from the farm track between Mount Stuart and Scalpsie Bay on the Isle of Bute.

folk and nearby friends:

North Ayrshire Council are threatening to close Arran Outdoor Education Centre. The decision is due to be taken on March 1st.

There's an emergency demo and march on Saturday 11th February at 11.00 at the Old Pier in .

Go if you can, or write to the council/your MP.

is so important for teaching confidence in, and appreciation of, our amazing, but fragile environment.

Panoramic photograph of the 'still' snow covered peaks on the Isle of Arran, a fair distance from the harbour where I'm standing. Taken yesterday afternoon when it was bright and sunny. No snow left here now, just dark, damp and decidedly dreich. :(

Well. They were NOT wrong.

I give you two standing stones on Arran, part of the Machrie Moor stone circles, in fine festive garb.

You are very welcome.

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

Eight miles west across the Isle of Arran, though further by road, are the Machrie Moor Stone Circles. They form one of the most important prehistoric sites in Scotland, a fascinating and at times puzzling landscape in which people expended a vast amount of effort creating ritual sites.

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

We travel 50 miles north by boat to Lamlash, the largest settlement on the Isle of Arran and the island's capital. Arran is one of the most accessible of the Scottish islands and one of the most southerly, and is often called a Scotland in miniature, having a mountainous north and rather gentler south.

Golden afternoon light this afternoon about half past three, from Brodick looking towards Bute and Cumbrae.

Another day ashore. It’s stop/start at the moment and feels like more stopping than moving. I’m aiming to return to Kintyre & paddle to Tarbert where I’ll portage to West Loch Tarbert and then north up the west coast. Today the wind is strong and from an unhelpful direction. I can see a sea of white crested waves out there. It’d be uncomfortable paddling.
