Visited on the Arran Coastal Way. Impressive caves.

The last 500m to the Black Cave you have to climb over scree, you need good shoes and surefootedness! At the end you walk along the rock face, really not for a "walk"!

Holy Isle is located close to the eastern shore of the Isle of Arran. This small (one square mile) island has a history of being a religious hermitage that dates back hundreds of years, and the tradition of quiet seclusion continues to this day at the Centre for World Peace and Health on the western edge of the island. Visitors are welcome to walk around and enjoy the landscape on the many paths that circle Holy Isle, where they’ll find beautiful views across Arran and the Firth of Clyde. - https://outaboutscotland.com/holy-isle-arran/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Island,_Firth_of_Clyde

The Doon Hillfort is an Iron Age fortification situated on a headland just outside Blackwaterfoot on the Isle of Arran. It's a unique and impressive sight, and well-worth the slight detour to witness its magnificence.

Another set of interesting caves not much further along from King's Cave and can be spotted easily from there. Theses might be more interesting. Evidently there have been instagram fanatics here, building their little rock piles. There was only 3 or 4 in 2016.

Easy to find on the beach and has a gate at its opening. It is a good idea to bring a torch, and explore inside and see all the carved writing. There is a good car park and the path is easy going though the most direct route down has a steeper section.

Kildonan is a village on the south coast of Arran. It is named after the Irish monk, Saint Donan, who is believed to have lived here in the 6th century. The village boasts a beautiful sandy beach with spellbinding views over the islands of Pladda and Ailsa Craig, as well as a 13th-century castle. You find a good choice of accommodation in the village as well as places to eat and drink.

The Black Cave on Bennan Head is the largest cave on the Isle of Arran. It measures 80 feet (24 m) high, 40 feet (12 m) wide and 100 feet (30 m) deep. Early archaeologists claimed to find arrow-heads and flakes of flint mingled with whelk and limpet shells in the cave, indicating that it was used by prehistoric man. However, the boulder-strewn surface of the cave has led others to doubt this. Although, it has been used as a place of worship in the past. Be aware, Bennan Head is not passable at high tide. Also, as the terrain is challenging, allow yourself plenty of time to explore. To check tide times, visit: https://www.tideschart.com/United-Kingdom/Scotland/North-Ayrshire/Isle-of-Arran.
