An impulse thought yesterday afternoon - rather than go to the Trossachs tomorrow - why not the Isle of Arran in the Firth of Clyde?
A phone call to my friend Thomas who travels this route regularly and the plan was complete.
I met Thomas at the ferry terminal in Ardrossan and we boarded the 09:45 ferry.
My first trip on the 'Caledonian Isles' so that was a bonus.
We had nice weather with sun to set us off, but it did deteriorate to cloud later before a last burst of sun as we headed home.
We used the bus service on the island and the drivers were very helpful and friendly. Next time I go over I'll take the car though, as needed more flexibility to stop where and when I wanted to get photographs.
A most enjoyable day and planning my next trip over already.
