    Lived on Arran my whole life and this is really nice to see thank you, also there’s a bunch more undocumented dinosaur footprints on the island and also jeeps of plane crash sites you can visit from ww2

      @@TigerLily12345 it’s very beautiful to live here but I’d have to say the beauty can trade for minor despair in the deep of winter 😂 the ferries are hit or miss if they will run or not with weather which also limits food getting delivered. But as long as the convenience of life on the mainland isn’t a big thing for you then it’s definitely worth spending a bit of your life living here. Peace is in abundance on the island and the views never get old. You either have the heart for island life or don’t but it’s for sure worth living here to figure that out.

    I was planning on visiting King's Cave after Machrie Moor on my first day on the island, but it was a 2.5 hour hike from the car park and back and I needed to make sure I caught the bus to Lochranza, so I didn't have time to do the whole hike there. I'll definitely go there (as well as reattempt Goatfell) when I next visit. I did show Machrie Moor and a little bit of the King's Cave hike in Part 1 of my Arran videos though. Wish I had a few more days on the island to show more. Definitely easier if you have a car though.

      A car definitely makes it a lot easier. I hope you complete everything you want to do and have an amazing trip when you get chance to return.

    My surname is Arran. My grandfather even tried doing some digging and investigation but it went too deep into like 1600 and way lower he even went to the isle of arran. What if my family's royalty and we have some inheritance or sum and we actually own the isle of arran or sum w our ancestors...?
