Sarah:The grounds at Brodick Castle are beautiful, with plenty to explore. We visited in the spring time so the gardens were just starting to bloom. If it does start to rain, nip inside for a tour of the rooms and a game in the vintage arcade.
Sarah:If you fancy a bit of adventure, I highly recommend taking a hike up the island's tallest mountain – Goat Fell. It took us about four hours in total and the views from the top were gorgeous!
Sarah:No visit to Scotland is complete without a wee dram of whiskey! Nestled in a perfect location, only a short walk from the Lochranza campsite. We booked the cheapest/basic tour and we received two samples of whiskey and a complimentary glass. We were lucky to spot a couple of golden eagles during the tour which finished it off perfectly!
Sarah:The castle isn't very spectacular, but it's a great place for wildlife spotting. We spotted lots of seabirds here as well as a family of deer and stags.
