SCOTLAND (2015- June): Island of Arran
MacDigger of Arran

Mac Digger will show you photos of his first trip to Arran in thirty years on this page. Thanks to Ruth for organising yet another awesome holiday.
Getting there

The ferries are rather pleasant compared to flying (they let you wander round and you can buy chips!)
Archaeology
Geology

Some people (well Ruth) think Arran is also famous for its Geology (here you can see a conformity, or was it a dis-conformity, or was it a un-conformity………….)
Animals

DEER. Arran is famous for its deer who are full members of the Lochranza golf course based on the way they sit on the greens

BEAST. In this photo Digger has managed to capture a selfie with the “beast of Arran”. A dangerous wild animals that needs to be kept on a lead (just incase the sheep and rabbits attack him!). His real name is Merlin and he likes mud.
Activities

There is lots to do on Arran. You can rock climb. (Note. to Ben- how did you make that photo you took of me on another holiday look realistic?!)
The Beach
Lochs
Rivers

Of course, Arran also has rivers which are also good for bathing/swimming (see New Swims page for details)
The sea

The sea is good for swimming. Here by the “historic” kings cave which was featured in the well known book “Robert and the Spider”
Kilts and spiders

You can tell by the look on these peoples faces that they know this person isn’t wearing real tartan

Just as you can tell that Rowan and Ruth know that they are stood next to someone in real MacDigger tartan. Can you see the spiders web?
Druids

Many archaeologists think that the druids were based on Anglesey (North Wales). Some even believe that the druids had nothing to do with stones erected by prehistoric people over two thousand years before the Druidic priesthood existed……
