Leaving mainland Scotland behind, the crossing to the Isle of Arran takes you across the Firth of Clyde before the island's mountains come into view, often called 'Scotland in miniature' for how much scenery is packed into a small area. Brodick Castle and the hiking trails up Goatfell are easy first stops once you've docked. The island's distillery at Lochranza offers whisky tours for those wanting a taste of Arran beyond its scenery.
