Our day in Arran

On Friday (Sept. 19), we took the ferry to the Isle of Arran for a day-long trip around the island. Our bus driver, Peter, took us quickly over the twists and turns of the usually narrow road with stops for coffee, lunch, and some other sightseeing. Gillian Bussell, the president of the Arran Rotary Club, shared lots of information on the island's history. Arran Rotarians Tony and Douglas also joined us, along with Arthur and Mike Kelly from the Prestwick Club. Among the highlights were a stop at Brodick Castle, the Isle of Arran distillery, and Arran Aromatics where we took advantage of some special deals.
