Allison and I chose to spend a few days on the Isle of Arran. This small island is on the west coast of Scotland. It was an easy trip from Glasgow, about an hour on the train followed by an hour at sea.

Allison and other pretty things


 
There were once trees here?


 
Ascent of Goat Fell, an incredibly high peak... OK not that high but still exhilarating!
