Thank you :). Arran definitely has a lot to offer. I have a big island trip coming up in May. I am hoping to get to 6 islands! I've been to lots of others but mostly before I was doing KZbin.

This is the 2nd documentary I see about Arran. I saw the 1st one when I was a kid, named Man of Aran. But, now I realize that this Arran is different from that Aran. Both are beautiful islands. Thank you for this well-presented video 💚💙

I have a question for you about the stone circles: Can they be seen from the sea? In other words if they were constructed for the benefit of the mariners, could the passers by see the stones while they were in the sea?
@bilingualbackpacker2 ай бұрын
I don't think they can. I couldn't see them from the coastal road or the car park. They are inland about 2km from the coast.

I just found your lovely channel. One of my nephews and I went to Scotland in November 2019 and it was a Paradise to me. We're going to Ireland in December. I would love to semi-retire in Scotland. My DNA is 79% from the British Isles and 20% Scandinavian, so I feel at home there. You have a beautiful voice.

Thank you. Ireland is fabulous too. A few years ago I spent some time in Connemara where my dad's family came from. I am planning to go back to make a video at some point.

If you don't have a car it's best to stay in Brodick where you can get a bus, taxis or hire a bike. Stagecoach buses have all the routes on their website to places like King's Cave & Goat Fell

Brilliant........ My Mum lived at the Moss farm... Moved out in 1965 when she got Married..... My Grandpa moved out in 1965 too..... Sad to see it in the state it is now.... Should be developed into a Machrie moor visitor centre........

Thank you! I still haven't found out when it was finally abandoned. Perhaps your relatives were the last ones to live there? I have some older photos of it going back to 2014 & the roof was still on it then. The local museum sent me a picture of a painting of the farm from 1911!

Best time of year for Machrie is (in my experience) March or October / November, especially if it is dry. It is usually lovely if it has been dry for a spell. 2024 has been super wet here as elsewhere. It is a moor, as the label says, so stay on firm paths if it is soggy. You were a bit unlucky. Midgies are not normally a problem, but this year's wet clearly suited them. Summer is often glorious, but the grass is high, which is why March/October is good. Nice video, btw!

@bilingualbackpacker3 ай бұрын
Thank you :). Yes the properties there have always been expensive as it's easy to get to from Glasgow & Ayrshire. The cheaper islands are the less accessible ones such as the smaller Orkney & Shetland islands.
