Some additional
ideas!
Combine with a night or two in Gigha
before or after Islay. Easy to add on a visit to Mull and Skye, or the
Isle of Bute.
Other start days are possible,
as are longer or shorter stays. Can also be taken 'in reverse',
visiting Islay first then Arran.
 We
recommend the Ordnance Survey Landranger Maps for Arran (No. 69)
and Islay (No. 60). Available for £5.99 each - please let
us know if you wish to add it to your booking.
