Scottish hillwalking at it's best!

The Arran Mountain Festival is an opportunity to meet like-minded people, discover a fascinating island and have unforgettable days in the safe hands of experienced local guides. With names to inspire the imagination, such as Ceum na Caillich (Witch’s Step) Caisteal Abhail (Castles) and the Sleeping Warrior, the mountains of Arran are some of Scotland’s most amazing landscapes.

Arran is one of the most accessible of the Scottish islands, with good transport links by ferry, road, rail and air.  At the end of an exhilarating day in the outdoors, there are plenty of hostels, hotels, cottages and campsites for comfort and relaxation.

Arran Mountain Festival is Scotland's premier hillwalking and mountaineering festival.

The 2013 Arran Mountain Festival was a massive success!!!  See below for some comments, and go to our Facebook page for a selection of amazing photos.
