On Caisteal Abhail, ArranThe mountains in the North of Arran are some of the most dramatic and serious to be found anywhere in Scotland. I am a fully insured and qualified mountain leader who can help you explore these peaks with confidence.
Whether it i
s climbing Goatfell, the highest mountain on Arran, or walking along
an exposed ridge at the more remote end of the range, there are many exciting goals and challenges on offer. 
You can book on to a scheduled walk, or hire a guide with local knowledge and a friendly professional approach to help you explore the hills with confidence.  Whatever you choose I offer a range of special walks and navigation courses and can tailor the day out to suit you.

Hire a guide for a day in the mountains

On the walk up to Caisteal AbhailMany people prefer a personal itinerary designed specifically for them. There are so many fantastic walks, hikes, scrambles and places to watch wildlife on Arran that it would be impossible to mention them all here.  The following are just suggested itineraries. If you would like to discuss possibilities please contact me on info@arranwildwalks.co.uk  £40pp or minimum £80 or two people. Click here for booking information.

The Old Man of Tarsuinn on the Three Beinns WalkThe Three Beinns: A traverse of the Bein Nuis, Beinn Tarsuinn and Beinn A'Chliabhain is Arran's classic ridge walk with spectacular views of the fine ridges and deep glens of the Goatfell Range. The rock formation on the left is known as the Old Man of Tarsuinn and is a well known landmark on the route.  The terrain is wild and remote and home to ravens, eagle and red deer. This walk also passes close to the wreckage of a B-24D Liberator air craft that crashed on Beinn Nuis in 1943.


Admiring the view from Stacach RidgeGoatfell  and Stacach Ridge: Arran's highest peak climbs to 874m and the views from the top are well worth the effort. Although it falls short of Munro status, Goatfell is a Corbett making an ascent a worthy challenge. It is optional to traverse the knobbly Stacach Ridge, with an experienced mountain leader on hand to guide you. The views are fabulous, the granite is rough and grippy and the sense of achievement is immense.


Traversing the sleeping warrior

North Glen Sannox Horseshoe: A magnificent day out on the hill that tackles steep terrain in a remote part of the Goatfell Range.  The names of the peaks ring with legend; we will ascend the famous "castles" of Caisteal Abhail with an option to traverse the famous Sleeping Warrior and cross the Witches Step of Ceum Na Cailllich.

Cir Mhor and the Saddle from Glen RosaThrough the Glens via the Saddle: Take a journey through two of Scotland's most beautiful glens, carved from granite by ancient glaciers. We cross from Glen Sannox to Glen Rosa via a short scramble over The Saddle. Fantastic opportunities for seeing red deer and golden eagles on route

Leave the Car At Home
Leave the car at home!





Why not leave the car at home and come by train? Arran is easy to access by public transport and the ferries meet trains and buses. If you come for the day, I can meet you at the ferry terminal. If you are staying on the island, I can collect you from accommodation in Whiting Bay, Lamlash, Brodick or Corrie.
