High Level Walking
The Northern Granite Massif of Arran is famous for its spectacular ridges and soaring summits - it is a hill-walkers paradise.
Many of the summits can be accessed individually from the main road which surrounds the Mountains but it is a shame to descend when one can take in other tops by scrambling along the fine airy ridges connecting the peaks.
Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Ptarmigan and Red Deer can be encountered during the course of a mountain day.
In winter the Arran Ridges are almost alpine in character and require good winter mountaineering technique to negotiate them safely. The Resource organises a Winter Skills Course where students can practise the necessary skills and learn the theory required to understand the winter fauna.
Low Level Walking
There are wonderful low level walks on the Island of Arran which are of interest.
These range from the walk to the Kings Cave - (Robert the Bruce was supposed to have seen the spider here) to walks in the remote and interesting N.E. of the island with its abandoned Crofts, Huttons unconformity, and numerous other points of interest.
There are low Level Walks so suit all interest.
