Brodick Castle with lush greenery, beautiful trees and a bonus tree fern

Whiting bay beach. A great sandy beach that's perfect for sea swimming

Glen Rosa blue pools with Goatfell in the background. This is a winter photo, but they look stunning year round and are a popular spot for a dip

A view of the sea and the far mainland (Campbelltown) from Arran, on a sunny day.

It was a really exceptional
holiday, chaps. I very much recommend Arran, it’s so lovely - especially at this time of year with LAMBS GALORE.

Great standing stones, great beer, excellent whiskey, a weird saint, loads of hares, fab folk museum.

Arran Swim #2 - well, more of a dip than a swim 🏊‍♀️💙
The Doctor's Bath at Corrie - saltwater bathing here since 1835 when Dr McCredy carved the 'bath' and water inlet channels. As you can see from my face - water temp was 'invigorating'!

The 12 Apostles, Catacol, Isle of Arran.

Each of the 12 cottages has a unique window which was used by fishermen's wives to shine a light to their husbands at sea.

A shallow mountain stream cascades over smooth granite slabs and boulders in the foreground, its motion softened by a long exposure, with a wide glen stretching back towards the jagged rocky peaks of Goatfell and the Arran mountains under a pale blue sky. Heather, rushes, and moorland grasses line the banks. Isle of Arran, Scotland. Analog film photograph.

A view through a gloomy, quite bare interior, to a large window and doorway onto a covered area outside with people sitting at tables. The wall on the left is the wooden front for a counter topped with yellow fabric blinds that have been lowered to leave a single gap through to a kitchen area; the floor is unfinished and slightly shiny, reflecting light from outside. A single bulb dangles into shot.

The French Fox, Brodick, Arran.

I thought I'd join in with #RockinTuesday &
#TidesOutTuesday with an image I took years ago showing the Holy Isle and Whiting Bay on Arran. I think I recall that the ripples in the 'sand' are actually rock, which amazes me.

A tree fern to the left of the photo overhanging a pond filled with water lilies. You can just see Brodick Castle in the background through the trees. It was a beautiful spring day and you can see blue sky in the background too.

Jurassic Park, Arran style... A tree fern looking wonderfully ancient over the pond at Brodick Castle. #Photography #Travel #Scotland #LandscapePhotography #Holiday
