Please note, this weekend away is for Ramblers members only* Join Glasgow Young Walkers on a weekend away to the beautiful island of Arran. Readily accessible by both car and public transport (although a ferry crossing is involved in both), Arran provides an easy getaway from Glasgow. "With dramatic mountain ridges towering over the moorland of its northern half, and a lusher, softer landscape in the south, Arran is often dubbed as Scotland in Miniature. The fact is that this is an island with a huge amount to offer packed into small space. The great granite ridges may be lower in stature than those in the Highlands, but they are the equal of any mountains in Scotland for sheer grandeur - and in the scrambling and climbing challenges they can present. The coastline has some superb scenery and a wonderful outlook, whether towards Ayrshire or to Kintyre. And the island itself is packed with history and human interest, from the ancient standing stones on Machrie Moor to the modern-day Buddhist retreat on Holy Island." - Walkhighlands https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/arran/
