We went to the Isle of Arran for the weekend -- this is a beautiful island off the west coast of Scotland. Although it's just a short drive and ferry ride away from Glasgow, it feels like you're miles from the big city! We had a great time enjoying the fresh air and ocean views.
One thing that cracked us up was that any time there was a scenic view there was a bench. All along the windy, two-lane road the circumnavigates the island, there would be a bench every few miles -- for the locals to contemplate their surroundings or for walking tourists who need a break?
Lots of boys scrambling on rocks
Lots of gorgeous water views
Lots of wildlife, including seals and many types of birds. Luckily, Liam, at MeMe's suggestion, had borrowed a bird book from the library so we could identify the ones we saw. Below is an oyster catcher, which has an incredible orange beak.
Yes, that's a seal, not just a rock on a rock!
Stay tuned for the castles and gardens of Arran.
