This is one of my favourite places for a walk and a play. It’s outdoors, it’s free, and the Kelpies themselves are just beautiful. The playpark is fantastic and it’s a totally wheel friendly place.
Activity
Machrie Moor
This is one of my favourite walks on Arran for families, and not too strenuous for anyone. The Machrie Moor standing stones are beautiful and impressive and honestly, a little bit magical. Highly recommend.
Conic Hill
Conic Hill has truly beautiful views overlooking Loch Lomond. It is tricky for little legs towards the top with the loose stones, but it’s a great few hours out and the views make it well worth the trip.
The Wallace Monument
We love visiting the Wallace Monument. The kids had a great time climbing the monument and playing on each floor. It’s surprisingly child friendly, and that view from the top is totally worth the climb. The walk up the hill is lovely too.
St Andrews Castle
We visited St Andrews Castle during our wee trip to Fife back in March. It has a really interesting history and the kids loved exploring all the different parts of the castle. A fun few hours!

We were driving from Glasgow to Aviemore a few weeks ago and I wanted to find somewhere to stop that we hadn’t been to before; somewhere we could get out, have a good walk and just breathe after months of being in the city during lockdown. I had a quick look at the map and …

The walks and activities that you want to do may well depend on the age of your kids. But if you have a whole 48 hour weekend to spend on Arran, here are the things I would try to fit in while you’re there.
Blair Drummond Safari Park
There is so much to see and do at Blair Drummond. Top things not to miss are the safari drive to see all the animals, the lemur walk through and the astroglide. It is a full on day out, but I can honestly say it’s one of our favourite places to visit, even though we’re always knackered after it.
