Isle of Arran 3 days 2 night GG-ied Part 2
Animals spotted in Isle of Arran
You might be interested to read up this article review before taking a trip to Isle of Arran. It has very complete informations on where to see animals and other tips touring the island.
Initially, lou poh and i were just hoping to see some highland cattles in Isle of Arran. Our dream have came true - All different colours cattles (i.e. black, dark brown or light brown) were spotted at Balmichael Farm and village farm near Whiting Bay.
All over Arran you are likely to see seals, YES SEALS, red squirrels, red deer, eider ducks, kittiwakes, loads of sheep and some humans. If you want to see some seals, be sure to make full research before going. (time and places, eg. outside Brodick castle around 4pm)
There were lots of sheeps spotted beside Lochranza Distillery. They were trained to cross the road ONE-BY-ONE also. I was very surprised to see that.
And of course, RED DEERs. Dont miss them, according to local villagers, usually there will alot of them wondering at the village of Lochranza during the dawn or the dusk.
We were supposed to see many red squirels in the trails near Brodick Castle. We did see some but we were not fast enough to take a picture of them. So in the end, i googled one.
We were also hoping to spot some dolphins from the ferry but obviously we didnt spot any.
Last but not least, you will easily spot some ducks, swans, or kittiwakes swimming in the sea all around Isle of Arran.
In conclusion, if you like natural and wildlife, Isle of Arran is definitely worth a visit!

Isle of Arran 3 days 2 night GG-ied Part 1
Isle of Arran is an island which is accessible via ferry service operated by Caledonian at 2 points, one at Brodick and another one at Lochranza.
It is a kidney-shaped like island and you can get around each town by local bus. A daily rambler ticket that allows one to hop on and hop off for just 4.40 pounds. However, do bear in mind that bus runs more infrequent from autumn onwards. We have managed to cover 3/4 of the island, i.e. Brodick --> Whiting Bay --> Kildonan --> Blackwater foot --> Balmichael --> Lochranza
Upon entering the track leading to Glenashdale Falls, we saw some highland cattles feeding themselves with nothing but grass. I think they are female, that is why they have got no horns.
Although it shows only 1/2 mile (0.8km) to Glenashdale, it actually took us quite sometime to get there.
We went through all kinds of paths in the jungle - there were small stream to cross, there were lots of tree with the signboard hiding somewhere unobvious, there were alot of hills that we need to climb before finding the right way out of the jungle.
Luckily the owner of the place we stayed offered us a map a day before, if not we sure could not make it to the Glenashdale Falls.
Half way through the jungle treckking, we found a wooden bridge and we could see the waterfall from far. At least we were assured that we were on the right track.
The weather was nice that morning, it was slightly chilly. we even took off our jackets, scaft and gloves for some pictures.
We continued moving until we reached Iron Age Fort. There was nothing much to see but a few stones.
After another 10 mins walk, we finally arrived at a platform where we could admire the grand Glenashdale Falls.
After that, we continued to move on with the extended route to reach Giant's Graves. We climbed several hundreds steps before reaching the hilltop to the Giant's Graves.
We made it! Next post I will blog about interesting animals spotted in Isle of Arran!
