Out into the west
Author Holiday Arran |
Sunsets and stone circles - plus a cave fit for a King
AS YOU travel on down the coast from Pirnmill the views of the Mull of Kintyre and the North of Ireland are breathtaking. Following the road high above Whitefarland past the charming Imachar farm visitors can see for miles on a fine day.
As you drive south you will see the magnificent Dougarie lodge on your left. This imposing white house hidden in Glen Iorsa was once the summer residence of the Duke of Hamilton. On the beach there is a delightful old boathouse leading down to the beach. It may be small but this is one of the west coasts loveliest beaches, plus there is a handy changing hut to protect one’s modesty.
A little further round the coast is Machrie, which is little more than a wide cluster of houses surrounding a charming golf course.
This flat seaside course sports nine holes and is 2200 yards.
