A guidebook to 44 walks on Scotland’s Isle of Arran (plus one on neighbouring Holy Isle) exploring the island’s stunning mountains and coast. Although there are a handful of easier routes, many of the walks involve pathless terrain and a few of the mountain traverses call for some exposed scrambling.

With many walks accessible by public transport, the routes range from 5 to 23km (3–14 miles) and can be enjoyed in 2–7 hours. The final ten routes can be combined to form the 7-day Arran Coastal Way, with optional inland variants.

• 1:50,000 OS maps included for each walk
• Includes the Arran Coastal Way
• Sized to easily fit in a jacket pocket
• GPX files available to download
• The region’s geology, history, plants, wildlife and local points of interest
