The alternative was to have the congregations rent suitable accommodation for me and my family elsewhere in Brodick.

    Wild for Scotland © Kathi Kamleitner 2021 Transcript Wild for Scotland Podcast Season 1, Episode 6: ‘The Cure’ - Isle of Arran Published on 13 April 2021 Written, hosted and produced by Kathi Kamleitner _________________________________________________________________________ Hello there and welcome to Wild for Scotland, a podcast that allows you to travel to Scotland through stories. My name is Kathi Kamleitner, I’m a writer and storyteller And I run the Scotland travel blog Watch Me See. After years of helping people from around the world plan their trips, this podcast is my way to help you connect with Scotland regardless of your travel plans. Each episode starts with a travel story about a location or an experience from my travels. Then I’ll tell you some of my top tips for visiting to inspire a future trip. Are you ready? Great, let’s travel to Scotland. _________________________________________________________________________ The first season of Wild for Scotland is all about the Scottish isles. Each week, we travel to a different island and spend some time exploring their nooks and crannies, history and landscapes. This week we are heading to a place that is often called “Scotland in miniature” - that’s right, we’re going to the Isle of Arran. The island gets its nickname because you will find a little bit of everything Scotland has to offer. There are castles and ruins, mountains, beaches and fields. You will find standing stones, whisky distilleries and lovely seaside villages. There are mountain roads and coastal drives - in short, a full taste of Scotland. Arran lies right on the Highland Fault Line.

With a Map [Plate V.] and Twenty-two Illustrations, drawn by the author. By JOHN SMITH. [Bead 14th March, 1895.] "This little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea." "Scenes of a truly Alpine character are very rare in Scotland, and perhaps nowhere occur except in the Cuchullin Mountains of Skye and the Granite Peaks of Arran."—PHILLIPS. ALTHOUGH the officers of the Geological Survey have not yet tackled the Arran granite, we have had quite a number of private observers who, from time to time, have written upon the geology of the island, and who, in many cases, merely incidentally as it were, have taken notice of the great granitic area, but, so far as I am aware, no one has yet given the granite itself the special attention which it certainly deserves. A walk through all the Arran granite glens, or even a climb over the tops of the granite hills, is not sufficient to unravel the problem of the structure of the rock, as I know from my experience for some time past. It is only by going round each hill at a height where the granite is bare and free from turf and debris, as well as along the stream courses and over the hills in addition, that the true nature of the rock can be made out, and this task is the one which I, for the past two years, set myself to perform, and the results of which I now propose to give.
