Wow how delighted I am to have found you! I watch 2 other Scottish vloggers but have a thirst for videos of the isles, I've never been & long to go. Would have loved to have seen inside the cafe. Can't wait for your next trip out and now I need to watch your previous ones 😍

Great video, on my list of places to go, bit of trivia, Kinloch castle was built using sandstone from my home village of Corrie on the Isle of Arran, the sandstone quarry now long closed and a small housing estate there now. 🙂

Was it, that's interesting to know, nice one island to another. I visited Arran years ago but need to go back. What's the one thing id need to see while there do you think?

@@IonaMacinnes Aw way to much to see and do here to choose one, everything from eating, drinking, low walks, high hill walks, coastal stuff, castles, dinosaur footprints, to name just some of the stuff to do, but maybe see if you can find the doctors bath in Corrie, very well engineered by the same quarry men who cut the stone for Kinloch castle, very quirky
