The Arran Coastal Way is a circular, long-distance trail 66 miles long that runs around the coastline of the Isle of Arran in Buteshire. As the route is circular, it can be started and finished at any location, but as most visitors to the island arrive and depart on the ferry, a start/finish monument has ben set up on the seafront near Brodick ferry terminal.[1]
The route is fully waymarked, using marker posts featuring a gannet.[2]
Development
The idea of the Arran Coastal Way was conceived by Hugh McKerrell and Richard Sim in the 1990s, which was formally opened on 28 March 2003. The route is maintained by the Arran Access Trust, and was designated as one of 'Scotland's Great Trails' in 2017.[3][4]
