Very nicely done. It was particularly refreshing to have a presenter with a thoughtful, understated style. I’ve subscribed.

I'm on Arran now and thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Very professional and informative. Thanks for sharing 👍

How amazing my KZread video i watch this morning is arran , going there in two weeks and can’t wait, you would not believe I live on west coast of Scotland and never been far as I am disabled, loved the video it even helps people like me 👍

Thanks John, really appreciate the comment, so glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a lovely time in Arran!

Beautiful video. I worked nine months in Irvine in 2008-09 and used to visit a friend that was living in Arran several times.

Arran is really good I've been there many times and I recommend going great

Arran Cheese And Ice Cream is the best you can get. (You can buy Arran Ice Cream in the large Asda at Ardrossan and you can fill up with reasonably priced petrol there too. Before and after catching the Ferry at Ardrossan. ) There are swans 🦢 on 5he sea 🌊 at Brodick. There are two Co ops , where you can buy the small tubs of Arran Ice Cream 🍦. Arran is called Scotland rolled into One ☝️ and the grazing cattle 🐮 make them produce the best milk and cream, that is why it’s the best cheese and ice cream 🍦. Lochranza The Seal Bay Campsite 🏕 has Pods you can hire , however they are booked up a year in advance so you need to pre book them well in Advance . There is an Hotel 🏨 there too. You can park lightweight tents , Motor homes and Caravans at Seal Bay Campsite 🏕. Because it is overlooking the sea 🌊Mosquitoes are not as bad as in the rest of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. A lot of Caravanners have their flag poles displaying the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 flag . At National Holiday Times a lot of Glaswegian Families come to Arran for a holiday ! Nobody could be disappointed with the Isle of Arran , lots of Ferries ⛴ to the Mainland . We bought a tub of Coronation Chicken 🍗, and a tub of Chicken Tikka and cheese topped bread buns from the Co op , and had them with Earl Grey Tea ☕️ And Azira Coffee from the flask , with a Lemon Drizzle Cake 🍰 And a Carrot 🥕 Cake 🍰. The grandson had his Arran Ice Cream . There is also a Chinese And Indian Take Away as well as others.

I live in ayrshire and I go to arran a lot and this video's very accurate and has all the right facts :) 👍

I have not been there since 1956. Thank you for your tour.

thank you for this video, isle of arran looks beautiful !

Brompton Cemetery in London, loads of red squirrels 🐿

The Kerrs on an island called Arran who would have thought that lol. Clan Kerr was one of the first I was matched with by DNA, the amount of 'Ar' named people and places I have found, love it. Looks like a great Island as well. Going to look into Ardrossan harbour as well now.

Nice editing, nice non distracting music and commentary. Looking forward to visit there after seeing your video !

I live only 4 miles from Ardrossan. I have been to Arran many times and climbed Goatfell ( on a sunny day) and yes you can see for miles. I have also had the pleasure of cycling round this amazing island.. Why not go to Island of Bute another great Island . You get the ferry from Wemyss Bay to Rothsay will worth a visit.. Great vid loved watching it..

I really love your film. When I was on Arran we also had just a bad sight from Goatfell, kinda sad but everything else was great. For me it is still funny that everyone I met on Arran and the rest of Scotland is so excited about the red squirrels. In my Hometown there are about 3 to 5 living around my House and in every Park you can only find the red ones. I grew up and just now the red ones. So I guess your reaction on red squirrels is like mine to the grey ones.

Grew up on Arran. Left when I was 18 for university. Amazing video man! Especially your love of wildlife. Although never heard Lochranza being described as the Loch of Seals haha! Whilst in Lochranza I hope you caught the Red Deer on the golf course.

Nice edit and storytelling. Shame about the views from Goatfell as they can be spectacular. I took my son up 3 years ago when he was 12 -- 3 years ago today in fact! And the same thing happened. No views. I've never managed to get him to agree to going back up again. One day maybe! Your drone footage was on point the way. I have to get me one of them!
