This 9.5km/5.5 mile circular walk follows Glenrosa Water into the dramatic granite mountains at the centre of Arran — through woodland, along well-made glen paths, and past some of the river’s most beautiful pools. The highlight is the Blue Pool: small, vivid, and tucked beneath a waterfall with the imposing cone of Cìr Mhòr rising behind it. It’s become something of a social media landmark, but arriving on foot makes it feel like a discovery all the same. The route is varied underfoot, with some boggy stretches, so good waterproof footwear is worth having. There will be time to stop, breathe, and take in the surroundings. Space to talk if you need it, and space to be quiet if you don’t. Come as you are and know that wherever you are in life, Vicky will meet you there.
