Arran, Islay and Jura
 

Second time I've been to Arran on the bike so probably wouldn't bike it there again, nice place though, and will probs go back in the, errrummm..... car and do a few of the walks up into the hills.

Isaly was OK nothing special, unless you likes yer whiskey, decided after four free shots best not to visit another distillery, canny campsite in the dunes.

Jura has one deadend single track road, and again was nowt special.

A few photos of the trip.

Ferry crossing to Arran.

Stopped here for a bit, can't really tell from the photo but the tide caused a bit of a flow through here which caught my interest.
