Its amazing to think that despite being so close and only an hour's ferry ride away we'd never been before now. We decided to go without Beth A to get a little bit of time to ourselves and B we wanted to have a good old drive round the island and do a reccie of best places beaches and activities in the event that we might wa http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/Scotland/Isle-of-Arran/blog-420579.html Well our 3 months lazing period has come to an end again as Alan has got another contract down in Knutsford.
