linking Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde with John Muir’s birthplace of Dunbar on the Firth of Forth.

One of Scotland’s Great Trails, the route encapsulates the deep love that Muir, the writer, explorer and a

conservationist who founded the US National Park system, had for the great outdoors.

Tackle it in one 134 mile ( 216 km ) odyssey - or split it up into shorter sections

as you take in beaches and coastline, castles, lochs, hills, woodlands, old railway lines, canal

towpaths, Roman forts, the Antonine Wall and nature-packed habitats.

This challenging-yet-rewarding 65-mile ( 105 km ) circular route showcases the

best of Arran’s rugged coastal charms with a smattering of history thrown in.

It is ideal for a week-long walking holiday but equally can be broken down into smaller sections to be

enjoyed on a series of day trips.
The stretch from Brodick to Sannox ( 7.5 miles / 12 km ) offers the option of passing through Merkland Wood or,

depending on your fitness level, climbing to the summit of Goatfell ( 2,867ft / 874m ).

Sannox to Lochranza ( 9 miles / 14.5 km ), meanwhile, is often hailed as a favourite section by walkers keen to

spot marine life such as dolphins and basking sharks.

a Viking grave and Iron Age hill fort.
