Welcome
to Willow Cottage
Willow
Cottage is very close
to the beautiful Arran coast,
just through the garden
gate and across a grassy
field.
There
is super coastal and
hill walking all over Arran.
Have
a look at The
Arran Coastal Way
The
walking on Arran covers
anything from a short gentle
stroll to serious mountaineering using ropes.

Walking
on
Arran
If
you would like a longer
walk, without anything strenuous,
then take a walk up one of Arran's Glens such as....
- Glen Catacol
- Glen Sannox
- Glen Rosa
- Glen Iorsa
- Glen Easan Biorach
Coire - an - Lochan
This
walk starts
from Thunderguy, which is less than
2 miles from Willow Cottage. There is
a good path for 2 miles uphill
to
the Lochan.
It is a steep climb to get here, but well worth it!
You can see the Paps of Jura from up here.
The hamlet of Thunderguy, where the walk begins.

The beach!
The path has been made well.
You can take the path to the
left of the Lochan, up & round,
& a couple
of miles later you reach Loch Tanna.
Machrie Moor
Standing Stones
This is a there & back walk - approx 3 miles all together. The path can get a bit wet in winter. There is a small car park about 1/3 of a mile south of the Machrie Bay Tearoom. You then cross the road & follow a cart-track through fields. Dogs should be kept on a lead.
The walk starts near here.

King's Cave
The path is very good & is suitable all year. This section begins at the Forestry car park one kilometre south of Machrie. Follow the left hand path (as you drive in) for 2 kilometres till the King's Cave comes into view.
Robert
the Bruce is
believed
to have used it en route to
taking the Scottish crown in 1314.
