Recommendations

  • With plenty of interactive exhibits, the Arran Heritage Museum gives kids a chance to learn about the island’s history in a hands-on way. There’s even a small tractor which they can sit on, and a quiz they can take as they explore (ask for a copy at reception). The museum is about 25 minutes’ walk from the ferry port.

  • Hire a mountain bike and head up into the mountains - there are some fantastic trails.

  • One of Scotland's great trails, the Arran Coastal Way is quite the endeavour at 65 miles long. The route is broken into eight sections so you can head out on a shorter journey to be rewarded with stunning scenery and the chance to spot the island's wildlife.

Glasgow

Scotland's largest city, Glasgow is sophisticated, earthy and impressive. As the birthplace of Charles Rennie Mackintosh it's a magnet for architecture and design enthusiasts, but even beyond his creative constructions, the city's buildings are eye-catching. In the 21st century, Glasgow has becoming a thriving cultural hub, known for its live music, comedy and innovative culinary scene as much as for its industrial heritage and important place in Scottish history.

Recommendations

  • Make the short bus ride to the Burrell Collection and uncover the art collection of Sir William Burrell and Constance, Lady Burrell, surrounded by the beautiful Pollok Country Park.

  • Enjoy the oasis of calm and quiet at Pollok Country Park. With immaculate manicured gardens, wide fields, a peaceful river and even Highland cows and Clydesdale horses, it's the perfect place to enjoy the countryside - you'd never guess the city centre was just 15 minutes away.

  • Visit Glasgow's Botanic Gardens, which since 1841 have flourished with exotic flora and fauna. The domed and teak glasshouses (open in the afternoons only) are impressive works of architecture filled with botanical history and tropical plants.
