Yesterday, we finally made it to Isle of Arran. A trip that has been postponed too many times. Unfortunately, weather was not on our side but since the internet connection in the halls has been acting up real bad for almost two days, and library closes at 12 noon on saturdays (mcm pergi pun  ), we decided to go anyway.
We bought an all inclusive ticket from Glasgow to Brodick Castle on Isle of Arran for only £15.30 day return. It was one of the Great Days Out of Glasgow offer. The ticket includes train ticket from Glasgow Central Station to Ardrossan Harbour. Then a ferry ticket from Ardrossan Harbour to Brodick, Isle of Arran and the open roofed top bus from the jetty to the castle. But apparently, the printed the wrong tickets for us and the one we had do not cover the bus but they let us ride it for free anyways. 
The island really represents the contryside of Scotland. So beautiful. I am sure it is more beautiful on a sunny day. On the isle we visited the brodick castle, walked in the country park and stopped by the Adventure Land (where we practised teh panning shots). Then went to see how an Arran cheese is made. But they were at the end of the process already. So, missed that but, we still get the free cheese tasting session. In the end i bought one. Smoked Garlic cheddar. Yummy! We also tried the local made ice cream. Sedaap.
They have Arran brewery too with free wine tasting but we didnt go there. We did go to Arran Aromatics (local made skincare and candles) and lepak at the Brodick town. In Brodick town sempat main 18 holes putting game..hahaha my first experience. So here are some of the photos taken during the trip.
