- Clips of a 75 minute blu-ray video I have made of the beautiful Isle of Arran. It covers most of Arran's picturesque villages and many of the excellent lowlevel walks on the island. Much of the original commentry has been edited to fit with the shortened video - so apologies for any glitches.
I just found this in 2022 and ❤️❤️ it. Watching from the U.S. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country.
Great video Andy. I like your style, that of old Scotland, straightforward, honest and free of all artifice.
Excellent, just excellent! Your videos of Scotland, my birth place, are just excellent!
Me & my family have visited Arran nearly every year since I was born :) I have some amazing memories & would love to move up there at some point. My one year old daughter had her first holiday there last year & we will be coming back again this year, as always! Arran means so much to us.
We're blessed here in West Scotland , and most of us don't know it .x
Arran indeed is one of the many pearls of Scottland...I have been there cycling with a friend and I would hope that more ppl (not too many ....) would visit that island. It's so beautiful, thanks for sharing, Andy ...your style of narrating reminded me of Sir Attenborough even so the accent seems to be a little different..again, it was so nice to see the places we visited.
A gorgeous video of a gorgeous place.
Visited the first time this year. Wonderful place!!
I've been visiting Arran since I was in primary school. I'm now in my sixties and still enjoy it every bit as much as I did then. It's lost none of its appeal and leaving on the ferry to go home still leaves me longing for the next visit.
Excellent really enjoyed that!! That took me back. Spent a bit of time there back in 2010, three visits, stayed three to four weeks each time, absolutely loved it there, magical place. Have the fondest of memories of Arran... Thanks for posting
Excellent videos just subscribed to your channel. I visit Arran in July my first Scottish island I intend to visit many more on going. Your videos are very helpful.
Having a week here in October for our 25th Wedding anniversary and planning lots of walks.excellent video, thanks for sharing.
Just completed a potted tour of beautiful Arran and very much enjoyed your take on it. Very much reminiscent of the late and wonderful Tom Weir. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your great stories!
Miss this place so much! used to go on holiday to Arran when I was a laddie, cant wait to see it again threw older wiser eyes and appreciate it properly.
Love the video, the memories brought a tear to my eye.
Im scottish, and I met andy today, he is my villages councillor
Thanks Andy for the great scenes and commentry go there every year stay in whiting bay
Great video, beautiful place. Thanks mate.
Excellent little documentary, well researched. I particularly like your self video inclussions, a lot of extra work in setting up and then going back for the camera - but worth it. We did the Arran coastal walk in 2010 and passed through all these places, although I didn't get to spend much time at any of the places. I went back later and spent 2 days at Kildonan to film the seals there. I have to go back!
Lovely video, I am going to Arran next week. It's one of my favourite places in Scotland.
I lived on this beautiful island for about 6 years in the early 2000s. Still miss it now and its been 7 year since ive been back.
Really nice presentation brought back some pleasant memories of my visits there. Thanks
I love it! I'm going in 3 weeks, this is so well made!
wonderful film Andy, brings back so many memories. been to arran many times, been going since I was about 3 yrs old, we used to go with other families in my fathers climbing club from Sheffield England. I remember walking all the big hills, and standing on the trig point on goat fell and thinking about being the highest thing on the island...ahh nostalgia. I now take my own wife and children, we stay in Lochranza, I could sit at newton point and watch the claonaig ferry forever so peaceful.
Tom weir would love your video's love Scotland love being Scottish hope you mange to keep posting freind
Another excelent video with excellent commentary. Brought back happy memories of our holiday there in May. Saw the house that we stayed in for the week in Corrie.
Hazel.
I used to read that the Isle of Arran was "Scotland in Miniature"
First class video, so much looking forward to my first visit especially after watching your excellent filming and brilliant commentary
Thank you Andy - this is lovely!
Beautifully filmed and narrated.
Going there in a few weeks, great to see your film!
As an Arran im glad you enjoyed our Island, however Goatfell is very much a mountain being over 300 metres in hight.
Very beautiful
Brilliantly done great video.
I love Arran, wish I had the cash to relocate there permanently! Beautiful place.
I hope you did it.
lovely clear video in more ways than one ,,nice to see lagg again and still open
Just back after a overnight stay, wonderful !!!
wonderfull!!!!! i've been there on 2009...i will definitely go back again...one day!!
I plan to move to up to Scotland one day, even though im English ive always felt, well, at home there.
dae it
ive thought moving up there too
I’m from England but I moved up to Scotland when I was three and a half and I’m called Arran!
lovely video, enchanting
My family have a holiday house there. It has an amazing view of Goatfell
Oh aye, does stealing a house from the locals make ye feel warm inside?
Love your videos..
A ferry used to travel to Arran from Stranraer.
Hi Andy, thank you for the video! I´m gong to be there in April and this was an interesting preview. Cheers Carsten
such a beautiful place, the closest I got was RAF Machrihanish back in the 1990s from Raf Henlow when we stayed at Tarbet, who needs to go abroad when such paradise is there
Hope you enjoy yourself - the weather looks better for the rest of the week
how awesome is this my name is Arran
I am 22 years old & have been every year since I was born. Arran means so much to me & my family. So much, that my fiance & I have just booked our wedding at Kildonan Hotel for 2014 :)
brilliant video Andy I'm originally from arran it's a great place ☺
Arran is amazing! I go over there every single year and haven't missed one out. We used to have a house in Shiskine as well but sold it 15 years ago. Life was good back then!
Dear Old Arran. I'm def due another visit soon. In another life I worked on the pier. Well I say worked........ !
Thanks for the comments - glad you enjoyed the video - it is a lovely island - my video comprised of six wonderful day trips to the island one spring - and I didn't know about that memorial - must go back over for a wee look sometime
I’m called Arran!
my dad was born there no idea where looks nice though, great standing stones 4000 yrs old!
@Pliokota Thank you for the comments - yes, it's an excellent walk - I pulled a calf muscle on the way up to the falls and I tried to hide it on the video - old age doesn't come itself
Hope you’re doing good 🙂
The video was taken in the spring (March and April) so I would hope that your weather will be the same
@HazelAgnes48 - I saw your videos of Arran, they were very good - I stay nearby and went over about 7 times on day trips between March and early May
Thank you for the kind words - you are welcome
@raydvd - thanks for the comments - yes, I filmed it myself using a tripod and the camera bag to sit the camcorder on - my wife doesn't like boats so I am on my own for this.
I wish you a long and happy life together - and hope you have many happy holidays there together
Go there from time to time best place in Scotland a stay in Irvine
Hi Andy, what a wonderful video! I particularly liked your slightly unusual views, those "off-road" giving a different angle on well known vistas. Also things I didn't know existed, like the War Memorials at Corrie and Kildonan. Have you seen the commemorative stone south of Kilpatrick Point to two airmen who lost their lives nearby during WW2? I did the Clauchlands Point walk for the first time ever only last month. 2014 will be the 50th anniversary of my first visit to Arran.
Going there tommorrow!
My ancestral home is Arran.
Hoy Andy, Lovely video. How can I get the 70 minute version?
im going to arran in 3 weeks on holiday cant wait......
I hope you enjoy yourself - I'm nipping over tomorrow, my son is building a house in Whiting Bay
thankyou buddy have a good time
@ghough12 - I am lucky - I stay about 15 miles from the ferry terminal - and I can pick and choose the weather
Great video. Only thing I'll say is you pronounced Shiskine wrong. It's pronounced 'Shi-skin' not Shi-skeen'. My grandparents used to have a house over there. Have so many memories of the place!
@wolf99951 lamlash?! That's where my gran has a bungallo! We live beside the caravan site near the fire station! It's the 2nd last before the site!
Dickies we came from here a long time ago

My brother is dragging a 19st (120kg) anvil to the summit of Goatfell,Arran's highest mountain in order to raise money for diabetes research. To see photos and (hopefully) make a donation google 'just giving big Davy's challenge'
Good to hear mate. Did a charity walk up there last year, great climb
Wy can't you stop in a cheap hotel or bed and breakfast so we can see how much it is to stop there.
You should be paid for promoting Scotland, well done!!
Hi did you sail from Ardrossan?
Yes
WHERE ARE YOU FROM ANDY
A village about 5 miles from Ayr
Great video apart from Bruce actually killed comyen in Dumfries not Edinburgh
My partner and I were quite often on Arran and hope to return still many times.
I have seen your Video on «youtube» and was very much impressed about its quality.
This gave me the idea to set a link on my own website
3w.muffweibel.ch/startseite/isle-of-arran-sco/.
I take it, you dont mind?
Otherwise, let me me know and I will take it off.
6:36 my exboyfriends mum lives in this house, works for the people who own it!
I wonder what is the economic base for people living on the Isle of Arran? Seems barren.
Tourism, and farming in the softer south.
Better than kerrouac
