Arran Coastal Way (3 ed)

This book is a gem … it feels like it has been written as a labour of love. It’s obvious from her enthusiasm and detail that the author knows Arran at first hand, and the information is up to date at time of publication. Apart from doing a bit of website searching for travel timetables and accommodation bookings, I’d say that this book has all the other information you need.

Excellent design and photography and crips, easy-to-follow directions with Rucksack Readers’ usual large-scale mapping make this the only guide you’ll need to explore Arran’s glorious coastline, from castle-crowned Locharanza in the the north to the cliffs of Bennan Head and the Black Cave in the south.

Rucksack Readers has long represented the gold standard for long distance walking guides. Their guides have always been bright, attractive, light, waterproof and comprehensive, containing between their covers pretty much everything you really need to tackle the walk in question: from excellent mapping to route descriptions to background features to sources of additional information. … The third edition of “Arran Coastal Way” by Jacquetta Megarry is fully revised. It provides an “all you need” guide to the 65 mile or 105 kilometre Arran Coastal Way, though as most of the island’s settlements are on the coast and most of its roads run round the coast, this is also … an excellent guide to the Isle of Arran more generally.
