    Highest point of the island known as ‘Scotland in Miniature’, Goatfell is the sharp centrepiece to Arran’s under-rated and startling highlands. Towering above the village of Brodick, it is an easy objective amongst a sensational world of jagged granite peaks. What it lacks in height, Goatfell makes up in sheer drama.

      Great views around the island and to the mainland. Can get very busy up the tourist route and it’s a boring path. If you can navigate and scramble there are better ways up than the tourist path.

        One of the best places i have been hiking and especially North Goat Fell across to Cìr Mhòr via the ridgeline before traversing Glen Rosa back to Brodick.



        Amazing scenery!
