Scotland Holiday - Day 6

Drive around Isle of Arran

Todays plan was to drive around the Island and see what we find to stop at.  We stopped in Lamlash at the lifeboat station.  Unfortunately the boat was away and the shop was shut.  

Back in the car we made our to Brodick.  We passed a bakery and called in for some bread.  We decided to sample one of their pies also.  I asked what pies they had and got told they had a macaroni pie.  I was intrigued so I chose it.  I couldn't believe it - they actually put macaroni cheese in a pie!  It was very nice though.

We next made our way to Lochranza.  First stop was to the distillary to get some whisey as requested by my brother.

We next stopped at Newton's View Point, we had a great view of Kintyre.  We walked on round the coast to see Huttons unconformity (Hutton's Unconformity is a name given to various famous geological sites in Scotland identified by the 18th-century Scottish geologist James Hutton as places where the junction between two types of rock formations can be seen).  

Further on round the coast we stopped at the Old Byre Visitor Centre for some lunch and access to some wifi! Next we went to Drumadoon Point.  We parked at Blackwaterfoot and walked along the beach to Drumadoon point.

As we drove round the southern coast we kept an eye out for seals but sadly we didn't see any.  we made our way back to Dyemill to decide what to do for dinner.  

There seems to be a big lack of pubs on the Isle of Arran.  We ended up getting a chinese takeaway!!

The weather tomorrow seems a little iffy but our plan is still to climb Goatfell.
