The Kerrs on an island called Arran who would have thought that lol. Clan Kerr was one of the first I was matched with by DNA, the amount of 'Ar' named people and places I have found, love it. Looks like a great Island as well. Going to look into Ardrossan harbour as well now.

I really love your film. When I was on Arran we also had just a bad sight from Goatfell, kinda sad but everything else was great. For me it is still funny that everyone I met on Arran and the rest of Scotland is so excited about the red squirrels. In my Hometown there are about 3 to 5 living around my House and in every Park you can only find the red ones. I grew up and just now the red ones. So I guess your reaction on red squirrels is like mine to the grey ones.

Arran Cheese And Ice Cream is the best you can get. (You can buy Arran Ice Cream in the large Asda at Ardrossan and you can fill up with reasonably priced petrol there too. Before and after catching the Ferry at Ardrossan. ) There are swans 🦢 on 5he sea 🌊 at Brodick. There are two Co ops , where you can buy the small tubs of Arran Ice Cream 🍦. Arran is called Scotland rolled into One ☝️ and the grazing cattle 🐮 make them produce the best milk and cream, that is why it’s the best cheese and ice cream 🍦. Lochranza The Seal Bay Campsite 🏕 has Pods you can hire , however they are booked up a year in advance so you need to pre book them well in Advance . There is an Hotel 🏨 there too. You can park lightweight tents , Motor homes and Caravans at Seal Bay Campsite 🏕. Because it is overlooking the sea 🌊Mosquitoes are not as bad as in the rest of Scotland 🏴. A lot of Caravanners have their flag poles displaying the 🏴 flag . At National Holiday Times a lot of Glaswegian Families come to Arran for a holiday ! Nobody could be disappointed with the Isle of Arran , lots of Ferries ⛴ to the Mainland . We bought a tub of Coronation Chicken 🍗, and a tub of Chicken Tikka and cheese topped bread buns from the Co op , and had them with Earl Grey Tea ☕️ And Azira Coffee from the flask , with a Lemon Drizzle Cake 🍰 And a Carrot 🥕 Cake 🍰. The grandson had his Arran Ice Cream . There is also a Chinese And Indian Take Away as well as others.
