    To my Romanian subscribers: more Romania videos ARE coming up, but I had to get this one out of my system first. :-)

    I'm a retired video production teacher in Canada. Although I've watched 100s of videos on UA-cam, yours is the first one I would give a grade of 100%. I knew it would be exceptional in the opening introduction and you didn't disappoint. I did a circle tour of Scotland last year but did not have time to fit Arran in. On my next trip in 2024, I will be starting on Arran. With the information you have provided, plus the contributions of other commentators below, I will have a fantastic beginning to that trip.
    I look forward to watching other videos that you have produced. THANKS.

      Wow, thank you very much for those lovely words! You have absolutely made my day. I feel I simply have no choice now but to get back to editing the dozens of videos I have in the pipeline, and which I'd almost given up on... Anyhow, I hope you enjoy your tour of Arran next year. It's a great island, and I'm sure you'll love it.

    There are two sandy beaches one at Kildonan and Blackwater foot near the Shiskine Golf Course. You can also do the Kings Cave from Shiskine/Blackwateroot. Seals also at Whiting Bay and Kildonan and Otters along same area as well as Pirnmill.

      Thanks for the information! Very useful. I visited the beach at Kildonan, but was too focused on photographing rocks to shoot the sand. Unfortunately, it rained the day I visited Blackwaterfoot. 🙂

    The only problem with Arran is if you do not have a car you are stuck in Brodick. visited in June,wanting to show off this gem to American son and Mother in Law . No coaches to tour island was a let down. We did get a bus to the castle,and that was all we could see. 😢

  • @andrewmuxworthy948
    @andrewmuxworthy948 2 роки тому +2

    Great video thank you. Couple of points. The islands capital is Lamlash, not Brodick. There are also many pure sandy beaches on Arran. Great video, one of best I have seen. Superb camera work.

      Thank you for making my day! I'm so glad you enjoyed my blurry little video. :-) Also, thank you for setting the record straight on Brodick and Lamlash. I'll keep it in mind. As for the sandy beaches, I know there are some nice ones near Blackwaterfoot, but as I mentioned in the video, I didn't get a chance to explore them because of bad weather. I'll be back for them some day!

      Did you enjoy it? The cyclists I met who did it told me they enjoyed the circuit but had some difficulty with the hilly road that cuts the island in two. I definitely saw a few cyclists struggle on that road. :-)

  • @robinhazell6019
    @robinhazell6019 Рік тому

    Not all of the beachs are rocky or have pebbles. You didn't mention the sand beaches of Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting Bay and a place on the South. Even Blakwaterfoot has a bit of sand. Alos, no mention of a myriad of walks and the Loch up in the hills with a great view. Plus, there are over a hundred species of Birds to see, including Golden Eagles, Perigrine Falcons, Buzzards and Kestrels.

      Alas, there was only so much I could see and record in five days, one of which was very rainy... I'm afraid you'll have to upload a video of the sandy beaches, walks in the hills and peregrine falcons yourself. 🙂

    A good Tate of Arran, but a pity you didn’t show the sandy beaches as well. The impression you give is that the beaches are all rocky and stony which could be off putting for families withchildren
