Arran

the small island SW of Glasgow,
has mountains that are small in height by Scottish standards,
but very worthwhile

 

the Isle of Arran
is famous for its
rocky ridges

and is yet another example of fine Scottish mountains under the 3000 feet height

the mist can make a good mountain look spectacular

and most of Arran's many mountains are good enough to be spectacular

we were lucky enough to see plenty of wildlife, during the week

eagles & deer
which  always look further away
on a picture
than they actually were

in the North of the island,
(pictured left from the rock climbs)
this was one of the best
vantage points for the
Golden Eagles
