Waterfalls
on Arran.

It’s 21:02 on Arran.
Isle of Arran

Eas Mor and the Glenashdale falls.

The south of Arran keeps its waterfalls in the woods, each at the end of a lovely walk. Above Kildonan, a burn drops almost straight down a cliff into a pool in a deep, wooded gorge, reached by an easy trail from the coast road. Carry on a little and you reach a turf-roofed cabin full of visitors' notes and drawings. Above Whiting Bay, a double fall of 45 metres pours over the edge of the hill, seen from a wooden platform on a circular walk past the Giants' Graves. Go a day or two after rain, and wear sturdy boots for the climb.

Brodick has the only island country park in Britain, and it runs from the seashore to the mountain top.

The castle is the ancient seat of the Dukes of Hamilton, standing where it does because the position over the Firth of Clyde made it a fortress worth holding; the building you see now was fashioned in 1844. The grounds around it run from the shore up to the summit, taking in formal gardens, woodland, waterfalls, bathing pools and ponds where red squirrels live, and there is nothing else like it on any island in the country.

The Library in the Woods, on Arran, is built from trees blown down in a storm in 1998.

The library is a turf-covered log cabin made with lumber from trees that came down in a storm in 1998. It sits in the forest beside the Eas Mor waterfall, a mile or two from Kildonan in the south of Arran. Inside, it is lined with drawings and touching notes left by visitors, and one of them reads: We saw a jellyfish.
