A quick whizz through the Isle of Arran brought us via the ferry from ‘The Mull of Kintyre’ back to the village of Lochranza, home of this castle and it’s even more famous ‘Arran Whisky’ distillery. This five minute stop on our way to our next ship at Brodick lacks the nice light on our previous visit but gave us the opportunity if we wanted it, for a rest on these seats. It looks like the castle is having some work done on it now. See Pip for 2017 version HBM, enjoy the day.

A contrasty view of this little castle here at Lochranza on the Isle of Arran. It was actually a Tower house house dating back to the 16th century, although the original castle was built by the MacSweens in the 13th century.

Lochranza on the Isle of Arran, Scotland is without doubt a beautiful place to be. Its shores, mountains, castle and distillery all add to the charm. This is taken from the northern estuary side near Newton.
