Glen Rosa walk with Arran Rangers

Arran Ranger Service – Walk on the Wildside

Monday, 4th September

Glen Rosa’s landscape, wildlife, history and future

This hill walk takes you to one of the most stunning views on Arran with a chance of seeing golden eagles, adders, and red deer.
Initially climbing onto the moorland above Glen Rosa with the reward of a classic view of the glaciated valley, the walk continues by winding down steep paths back into the main glen to see the results of the Arran Ranger Service’s efforts to reinstate upland woodlands including the endemic Arran Whitebeams and discover how people have used and changed the glen for the past 4,500 years.

This event is part of the Ayrshire Walking Festival, find out more here.
