Guidebook to walking the Ayrshire Coastal Path and Arran Coastal Way on the western coast of Scotland.
The Ayrshire Coast Path is a 94-mile route from Glenapp in the south to Skelmorlie in the north. Also described is the Arran Coastal Way, which circumnavigates its way round that island for 60 miles taking in Brodick, Lochranza, Blackwaterfoot and Kildonan. In 11 day stages, the route is described over seven days on the Ayrshire Coast Path, and over four day walking around Arran. Featuring OS mapping, step-by-step route descriptions, as well as information on accommodation, public transport and history of the region, the guidebook details everything you need to walk these beautiful coastal routes.

For many inhabitants of Glasgow, Ayrshire is the nearest and most natural stretch of coastline to visit. Keith Fergus, a Glasgow native, has enjoyed visiting the area for over 30 years. He has a love of walking and photography as well as a wealth of knowledge of Ayrshire; its rich history, diverse wildlife and scenic beauty.
